feat(linter): rules:needs: validation (GL044)
ci / vet, staticcheck, test, build (push) Failing after 2m4s
release / Build and publish release (push) Successful in 1m12s

Add GL044 to validate jobs listed in rules:needs: overrides (GitLab CI
16.4+). rules:needs: lets a specific rule override the job's top-level
needs: list; any referenced job must exist in the pipeline. Unknown jobs
produce an error; optional: true entries produce a warning, matching the
GL027 behaviour for top-level needs:. Cross-pipeline needs and skipped
jobs (when a context is active) are excluded from checking.

Implementation:
- model.Rule gains a Needs []any field (yaml:"needs")
- checkRulesNeeds(p, skipped) added to needs.go; wired into Lint
- GL044 / RuleRulesNeedsUnknown added to rules.go and explain.go
- 6 unit tests + 2 testdata fixtures; task validate updated
