Gate export/import command menu items by permission flag (#19991)

## Summary
- Hides the `exportRecords`, `exportView`, and `importRecords` command
menu actions from
users whose role does not hold the matching `EXPORT_CSV` / `IMPORT_CSV`
permission flag.
- Exposes the current user's role permission flags to
`conditionalAvailabilityExpression`
by adding `permissionFlags: Record<string, boolean>` to
`CommandMenuContextApi`, mirroring
 how `featureFlags` is already accessible.
- Adds a `2.1.0` workspace upgrade command that rewrites the three
existing rows on every
 active/suspended workspace.
