fix(init): template the polkit rule on --group too

polkit rule 50-decnet-workers.rules hardcoded isInGroup("decnet"),
so when 'decnet init --group anti' installed systemd units as
User=anti / Group=anti, the API (running as anti) could no longer
systemctl start/stop decnet-*.service — polkit fell back to
'interactive authentication required', which in a daemon context is
a hard fail:

  START FAILED · COLLECTOR — Failed to start decnet-collector.service:
  Access denied as the requested operation requires interactive
  authentication.

Rename the rule to .j2, parameterise the group on {{ group }}, and
route _install_polkit through _render_template /
_write_rendered_if_changed. Now the polkit rule matches whatever
group was passed to 'decnet init'.

Test fixture updated to seed the .j2 variant.
