078fbc0f40 Add Targeted platforms column and platform filter to Policies page (#44125)
- @noahtalerman: For the following quick win:
  - https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/23737

## Summary

Adds a "Targeted platforms" column and a platform filter dropdown to the
Policies page (`/policies/manage`), matching the pattern already used on
the Reports page (`/queries/manage`, `ManageQueriesPage`).

### Frontend
- New non-sortable **Targeted platforms** column rendered via
`PlatformCell`, sourced from each policy's comma-separated `platform`
field.
- New platform filter dropdown (All / macOS / Windows / Linux /
ChromeOS) wired as a `customControl` on the Policies table, alongside
the existing automation filter. Selecting a value pushes a new URL (not
a replace), resets `page` to 0, and updates the `platform` query param.
- `ManagePoliciesPage` reads `location.query.platform` and threads it
through to both `globalPoliciesAPI.loadAll` / `teamPoliciesAPI.loadAll`
and the react-query keys, plus the count endpoints. The
automation-filter and count "hide" conditions now include the platform
filter so they remain visible when only a platform filter is active.
- `frontend/services/entities/global_policies.ts` and `team_policies.ts`
accept an optional `platform` param (with `"all"` normalized to
`undefined`).
- Added tests for the new column and dropdown in
`PoliciesTable.tests.tsx`.

### Backend
- Added `Platform string ` + `` `query:"platform,optional"` `` to
`ListGlobalPoliciesRequest`, `CountGlobalPoliciesRequest`,
`ListTeamPoliciesRequest`, `CountTeamPoliciesRequest`.
- Extended datastore and service signatures (`ListGlobalPolicies`,
`ListTeamPolicies`, `ListMergedTeamPolicies`, `CountPolicies`,
`CountMergedTeamPolicies`, `ListGlobalPolicies`/`ListTeamPolicies` on
the service) to accept a `platform string` arg. Mocks and all call sites
updated.
- Platform filtering in SQL uses a new helper `platformFilterClause`:
  ```sql
  AND (p.platforms = '' OR FIND_IN_SET(?, p.platforms))
  ```
so policies targeting "all platforms" (empty `platforms` field) always
match regardless of the selected filter. `FIND_IN_SET` uses a bound
parameter (no injection risk).
- Added a new MySQL integration test `testPoliciesPlatformFilter`
covering empty-platform (match-all), per-platform filter, and
team/merged paths.

### Docs
- REST API docs for `GET /api/v1/fleet/global/policies`, `GET
/api/v1/fleet/fleets/:id/policies`, and the corresponding `/count`
endpoints now document the `platform` query param.
- Added `changes/policies-targeted-platforms-filter`.

## Behavior

- `platform=all` (or missing) returns all policies.
- Selecting a specific platform returns policies whose `platforms`
column is empty OR contains the selected token.
- The dropdown only renders when the table is searchable (results exist
OR any filter is active).
- Changing the filter pushes a new URL and resets the page.

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`.

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes

## Testing

- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

Local verification:
- `go build ./...` — clean
- `go vet ./server/... ./cmd/... ./ee/...` — clean
- `make lint-go-incremental` — 0 issues
- Go service-level policy tests pass. MySQL integration tests compile
but could not be run locally (no Docker); CI will exercise the new
`testPoliciesPlatformFilter` test.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added a "Targeted platforms" column with platform icons and an "All
platforms" option.
* Added a platform filter dropdown to scope policy lists; counts,
last-updated, and controls adapt when a platform filter is active.
Backend now honors an optional platform query parameter so filtering
returns matching policies.

* **Tests**
* Added and updated unit and integration tests covering the new column,
filter UI, and platform-filtered policy listings.
