feat(fleet): real model picker + reconcile roles in /fleet setup

Replace the abstract model-class step (inherit/fast) with a real model picker — inherit plus the active provider's models — writing a concrete model to the profile instead of model_class_hint (#3167). Drop the 'main' worker role (it is the operator/parent, not a dispatchable worker) and add 'general' so the wizard roles match the roster built-ins. The LLM-authored draft path now targets a concrete model instead of a class.
