## Summary
`PermissionsException` thrown by `SettingsPermissionGuard` (and other
permission code paths) was bubbling up through every typed REST
exception filter and landing in the global `UnhandledExceptionFilter`,
which falls back to **500** for anything that isn't an `HttpException`.
So a forbidden user (e.g. an API key whose role doesn't have
`DATA_MODEL`) calling `GET /rest/metadata/objects` got:
```
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error "Entity performing the request does not have permission"
```
GraphQL already had the right plumbing via
`permissionGraphqlApiExceptionHandler` (`ForbiddenError` → 403,
`UserInputError` → 400, `NotFoundError` → 404). This PR mirrors it on
the REST side.
## What
- New util `permissionRestApiExceptionCodeToHttpStatus` mapping every
`PermissionsExceptionCode` → HTTP status, with `assertUnreachable` to
force explicit handling of future codes.
- New filter `PermissionsRestApiExceptionFilter`
(`@Catch(PermissionsException)`) that delegates to
`HttpExceptionHandlerService.handleError(...)` with the resolved status.
- Wired `PermissionsRestApiExceptionFilter` (placed first, so the typed
filter wins over any sibling catch-all) into `@UseFilters(...)` of every
REST controller that uses `SettingsPermissionGuard` or whose service can
throw `PermissionsException`:
- `object-metadata`, `field-metadata`, `webhook`, `api-key`
- `view`, `view-sort`, `view-group`, `view-filter`, `view-filter-group`,
`view-field`
- `page-layout`, `page-layout-widget`, `page-layout-tab`
- `front-component`, `ai-generate-text`
- Unit tests covering 403 / 400 / 404 / 500 mappings.
