Let captured Leader Skill owners revive other leaders

User ruling 13 October 2026: the original faction keeps its existing Skill
assignment while its trained leader is captured. Reviving a different eligible
own leader is legal and simply draws no replacement card while that assignment
exists (selected reading of authorized supplied Advanced physical p21 "if you
have no Leader Skill Card"). Not a new publisher ruling; captor lower-band use,
card movement and death-return unchanged.

Remove the replacement-question veto that suppressed the entire ordinary/Ghola
revival: leaderSkillRevivalBlocked/requireLeaderSkillRevival, the gholaLeaders
early return, the view revival.leaders: [] filter and the beginRevival/Ghola/
Emperor-special-Karama call sites are gone. offerRevivedLeaderSkill is
unchanged and still suppresses a second assignment or draw.

Rewrote the two committed rejection assertions
(tests/advanced-native-skills.test.ts, tests/leader-skills-capture.test.ts) and
added native regressions covering ordinary paid, held-Ghola and Emperor special
Karama revival from a genuinely captured skilled state: exact cost, no draw or
offer, retained captive/card/controller and a conserved all14 deck.
