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

- `glint explain <RULE>`: new subcommand printing rule description,
rationale, bad-YAML example and fix for every GL001–GL043 rule.
`glint explain` (no arg) lists all rules with ID, severity, title.
Rule IDs are case-insensitive.
- GL042 (rules:if: evaluated reachability): warns when every rules:if:
condition evaluates to false given the values of variables declared in
the pipeline YAML, making the job statically unreachable. Conservative:
only fires when all referenced variables are declared in YAML; predefined
CI_* / GITLAB_* variables are skipped to avoid false positives.
- GL043 (inherit: completeness): warns when inherit: default: is declared
but there is no default: block in the pipeline (dead declaration), or
when the list form names fields not set in the default: block.
