fix(build): enforce build-from-source for the lite backend (F15-1)

The lite-backend "signature verification" was attestation theater:
build-lite-backend-artifact.sh recorded a self-attested
signature_verification.verification_status="verified" with no cryptographic
check (the "verified" SHA was simply the artifact's own SHA), and CMake's
DRAGONX_LITE_BACKEND_REQUIRE_SIGNATURE gate trusted it — so a hand-edited
manifest could link an arbitrary prebuilt backend into ObsidianDragonLite.

Per the chosen remediation (build-from-source is the trust root):
- build-lite-backend-artifact.sh: reject --artifact/--no-build (prebuilt) and
  all --signature-* flags; the backend is always built from the vendored
  in-tree source (third_party/silentdragonxlite). Record built_from_source:true
  in the manifest provenance. Usage/header updated.
- CMakeLists.txt: remove the DRAGONX_LITE_BACKEND_REQUIRE_SIGNATURE option and
  its manifest signature-verification gate (kept the real required-symbol
  inventory check); update the config summary line.

Full-node CMake reconfigure + build pass; script bash -n clean and the removed
flags now hard-error. (The lite-backend link path needs cargo + backend and was
not runtime-tested in this environment.)

The script captures symbols, checksums, and optional read-only signature
verification metadata only. It does not load the library, resolve function
pointers, call SDXL, sign, upload, or publish artifacts.
The lite backend is always built from the vendored in-tree source
(third_party/silentdragonxlite), which is the trust root. Prebuilt artifacts
and self-attested signature metadata are NOT accepted (F15-1) — the previous
scheme only recorded an unverified "verified" claim. The script captures the
freshly-built artifact's symbols and checksum, and records build provenance.
