Implement S05 Maven Format Phase 1 Tests
## :pencil: Summary
Track delivery of the **S05 Maven Format Phase 1 Tests**: the `pkg/client/maven` HTTP client surface, the `pkg/conformance/maven` `Module` + `mvn` driver wiring, and one `TestDescriptor` per non-optional Maven catalog row.
After this plan's last MR merges, the Maven `Module`'s `TestCatalog` returns the full Phase 1 inventory — 27 `Local` rows + 3 `Errors` rows + 1 `Negative auth` row — and `inventory_test.go` asserts strict equality against [docs/catalog/maven.md](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ops/registry-conformance/-/blob/main/docs/catalog/maven.md)'s non-`optional`, non-`Virtual` rows. The 27 Steps map 1:1 to S05 acceptance criteria #1– #33. Builds on the S04 foundation harness (#28).

## :tools: Scope
Per the plan's Approach section, 27 MR-sized Steps in three logical bands:
1. **Steps 1–5 — `pkg/client/maven` HTTP surface** (5 MRs): per-operation methods, metadata XML types, SNAPSHOT filename helpers, checksum sidecars, on top of the S04 foundation 1.8 client shell.
2. **Steps 6–9a — `pkg/conformance/maven` module + driver wiring** (5 MRs): the Maven `env` + `requireMVN` skip-gate, the `mvn` `CLIExecutor` wrapper, the `internal/fixture` builders (POM / settings / JAR / metadata), the async-metadata polling helper, and the env→client accessor seam + shared fake `CLIExecutor` test harness.
3. **Steps 10–27 — per-AC test functions + inventory enforcement** (18 MRs): each Step adds one or a few `TestDescriptor` rows and their `Fn`, flips the catalog row(s) to `done`, and re-runs the inventory subset assertion. Step 10 lands the subset guard first; Step 27 flips it to strict equality last.

## :link: Dependencies
- **Spec S05** (`docs/specs/S05-maven-protocol.md`) — merged and locked (!21).
- **Spec S04** (`docs/specs/S04-contracts.md`) — merged and locked (!11).
- **S04 Phase 1 Foundation Harness** (#28) — Steps 1–9a here build on the per-format shells from #28 step 7 (module shell / MR 1.7) and #28 step 8 (client shell / MR 1.8), and on the logger helpers from #28 step 5 (MR 1.5). Step 10 additionally needs the cross-format `catalogparse` helper (#28 step 26 / MR 1.12). Step 7 and every `mvn`-driven per-AC Step need the foundation's `pkg/conformance/cliexec` `Executor` — #28 step 25 (Group 4 / MR 4.1).
- **S04 foundation Group 2 (CLI) and Group 3 (report)** — NOT required for Maven Steps 1–27 to land. The Maven slice is exercised via `go test ./pkg/conformance/maven/...` and `go test ./pkg/client/maven/...` in CI; end-to-end via the binary becomes possible once Groups 2+3 land but does not gate these Steps.
- **`mvn` binary in the CI image** — the repo's Dockerfile already provisions `mvn`; `docker-image-smoke` verifies `mvn --version`. No new image work.
## :no_entry_sign: Out of scope / deferred
Per the plan's Out-of-scope section:
- **Cross-format runner, CLI flags, exit-code mapping, report rendering, slog JSON handler** — owned by the S04 foundation plan (#28), not re-litigated here.
- **The `## Virtual` catalog section** (5 rows: `maven.virtual.upstream-resolution-order`, `maven.virtual.metadata-merging`, `maven.virtual.cache-ttl`, `maven.virtual.degraded-upstream`, `maven.virtual.allow-deny-rules`) — deferred to a follow-up spec that adds the upstream-config surface. Rows stay `not started` and are filtered out of the inventory assertion's RHS.
- **The 5 `optional`-status `Local` rows** (`maven.http.conditional-get`, `maven.http.transfer-encoding-chunked`, `maven.pull.non-unique-snapshot`, `maven.http.retry-5xx`, `maven.metadata.plugin-prefix`) — depend on registry behavior the conformance contract does not require.
- **Auth-matrix expansion** (Deploy-Token, Job-Token, Bearer over `Authorization`, Nexus user-tokens) — deferred to a future auth-matrix spec per S04 / S05 §Resolutions.
