Add role-based access control (RBAC) with three user roles

This commit introduces a role-based access control system to manage what each user can see and do in ETPL Intelligence.

Three roles are now available:

Admin: Full access to everything including member management, configuration, and system health monitoring
Functional: Access to BRD, FRD, and Implementation workflow (Lead to BRD, BRD to FRD, FRD to Implementation), plus document libraries, Ask ETPL, Meetings, Analyze, and Ideas
Developer: Access only to Dashboard and Zoho Assistant

Backend changes:

Add DEVELOPER and FUNCTIONAL roles to the role hierarchy (rank-based: Developer=0, Functional=1, Admin=2)
Keep ANALYST as deprecated alias for FUNCTIONAL for backward compatibility with existing server-side route guards
Update authentication to assign FUNCTIONAL role to legacy analyst keys
Update account validation to accept functional and developer role values

Frontend changes:

Add 'Sections' title label above navigation sidebar for better UX
Update navigation to filter menu items based on user role
Add Zoho Assistant as a proper navigation entry with external link handling
Add conditional panel rendering - views are only mounted if allowed for role
Add route protection - redirects to safe default if user navigates to unauthorized view
Update Account Manager to show three role options with descriptions and colored badges
Update access model description to reflect three roles
Add CSS styles for new role badges (functional=green, developer=orange)
