Review fixes: persisted flow-user admin seed and real cv.multi_select

Review rounds 1-2 (Codex gpt-5.6-terra) found two HIGHs against real HA:
- entry.context is not a durable record — the config flow now persists
  the completing HA user into entry data (CONF_ADMIN_USER_IDS) and the
  seed precedence becomes: options copy (the current list) first, then
  the config flow's entry-data copy, then the context user as a last
  resort. Config-flow tests cover the persisted user and the
  context-free path; a seed-precedence test covers options > data.
- the hand-rolled closure could not serialize as an HA multi-select.
  The harness now mocks homeassistant.helpers.config_validation with a
  faithful multi_select, and the flow uses cv.multi_select exactly as
  real HA code does. Suite: 904 passed.
