feat(grok): reasoning-effort by role (cut grok-build cost on cheap roles)

grok-build-0.1 reasons heavily by default and reasoning bills at the output
rate (a live "say ok" call emitted ~300 reasoning tokens, ~85% of its cost).
Confirmed live that opencode's `--variant minimal` cuts reasoning ~54%
(298 -> 136 tokens, same prompt).

GrokProvider now picks reasoning effort by role: code-quality roles (developer,
qa, pr_reviewer) keep full reasoning; coordination / docs / board roles
(cell_pm, main_pm, documenter, product_owner, head_marketing, auditor, prompter,
secretary) run "minimal". It's passed to opencode via the entrypoint's
`--variant`. Operators can force one effort for ALL grok agents with the
ROBOCO_GROK_REASONING_EFFORT env (minimal | high | max, or default/full).

Tests cover the role map, the env override, and the spawn env wiring.
