Draft: Allow Guest+ to access custom agents in foreground (Agentic Chat)

What does this MR do and why?

Allow Guest+ to access custom agents in foreground (Agentic Chat)

This change loosens the permission requirement for custom agents executing in the foreground (Agentic Chat) from Developer+ to Guest+.

The read_ai_catalog_item_consumer permission is required to access custom agents in Agentic Chat. There is no technical reason preventing Guest+ access for foreground execution of custom agents.

This enables a unified "Execute foreground" permission that covers:

  • Agentic Chat
  • Foundational agents
  • Custom agents (foreground)
  • Foreground flows

Background execution (requiring CI Pipeline) will continue to require Developer+ permissions.

Issue: #582507
