fix(e2e): grant CI runner read access to polaris namespace for RBAC pre-flight check

The RBAC pre-flight check workflow step (commit 46350c5) verifies that
polaris-dashboard-proxy-reader Role and RoleBinding exist in the polaris
namespace before running E2E tests. However, the CI runner's RBAC
(e2e-ci-runner-role in privilegedescalation-dev) did not include
permission to read roles/rolebindings in the polaris namespace, causing
the pre-flight check to fail with a generic kubectl error on all branches.

Fix: add rules to e2e-ci-runner-role allowing get on roles/rolebindings in
privilegedescalation-dev (for the pre-flight check itself), plus a new
Role + RoleBinding in the polaris namespace granting the runner read
access to rbac resources there.

Without this fix, the pre-flight check exits 1 on every branch until someone
SSHs into the runner pod and manually applies the polaris RBAC manifest —
which they shouldn't need to do.
