docs(fifa17): numeric squad ids are real; our collapsing is safe, not authentic

The numeric id in squad/<n> was being justified as "matching the oracle". That
justification does not survive inspection, and the code now says why.

FIFA 17 has genuine multi-squad semantics. The client's own shipped action
table has SelectSquadById, RetrieveSquad as an action DISTINCT from
LoadActiveSquad, CreateSquadWithName, RenameSquad, DeleteSquad, CopySquad,
indexed SQUAD_ID-%d list entries and FUT_MAX_NUM_SQUAD_REACHED. The base
template is `ut/%s/squad` with the id appended. The number identifies a squad.

The inherited behaviour came from a bare prefix regex in the Python oracle -
`re.compile(G + r"/squad")` calling squad_route(), which never reads the URL id
(GET returns current_squad(), PUT echoes the id from the BODY). The comments
around it show /squad/list and the draft routes had to be registered first
because that rule was swallowing them. It was expedient, not evidence-driven.

Collapsing the id is nonetheless SAFE today, and only for a specific reason:
we advertise exactly one squad. ACTIVE_SQUAD_WIRE_ID is a constant 0,
/squad/list returns a single-element array carrying it, and no
create/rename/delete/copy route exists, so the client can only echo back the id
we gave it. Every numeric path in retained captures is squad/0, all PUTs whose
body id also reads 0; no numeric GET has ever been recorded.

Behaviour is therefore UNCHANGED - no evidence justifies changing it, and
unknown-id semantics are deliberately not invented. What changes is that the
assumption is now explicit and enforced:
numeric_squad_routing_is_safe_only_while_one_squad_is_advertised pins the wire
id at 0 and /squad/list at one entry, and fails the moment a second squad
becomes addressable. Verified by simulating a second advertised squad.

Workspace 1252 passed (1251 + this test), 0 failed.
