fix(config): parse UPDATE_DATASET_LIFECYCLE_GROUPS as string array#2724

The updateDatasetLifecycle access group was stored as a raw string rather than split into an array like every other group config entry. The CASL factory calls .includes() on this value to check membership; on a string, .includes() does substring matching, so a user in group "lifecycle" would pass the check when only "lifecycle-managers" is configured, granting unauthorised DatasetLifecycleUpdate access. Adds a regression test that exercises the real configuration() function to catch any future reversion.
