**Related issue:** Resolves#37806
Removed `ds.ListActivities` from the legacy datastore and updated
code/tests to use the new activity bounded context instead.
The changes to `cron.go` and most changes to `mysql/activities_test.go`
will eventually be migrated to the activity bounded context. The current
changes are an intermediate step.
The issues tracked by https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/38234 will
be addressed in additional/parallel PRs shortly.

while write/role-altering permissions remain unchanged.

**Related issue:** Resolves#37806
This PR creates an activity bounded context and moves the following HTTP
endpoint (including the full vertical slice) there:
`/api/latest/fleet/activities`
NONE of the other activity functionality is moved! This is an
incremental approach starting with just 1 API/service endpoint.
A significant part of this PR is tests. This feature is now receiving
significantly more unit/integration test coverage than before.
Also, this PR does not remove the `ListActivities` datastore method in
the legacy code. That will be done in the follow up PR (part 2 of 2).
This refactoring effort also uncovered an activity/user authorization
