Translation Manager: block values, approval permissions, 18.3.2 release

• Same pending-changes problem as uSync #1097 for translated invariant block lists/RTEs: block values now serialized with Umbraco's IJsonSerializer (property types set, cultures sorted), and invariant properties no longer get a stray target-culture copy (#87)
• Found that Umbraco's RTE publish merge doesn't sort block values by culture (still true in 18.0), so an invariant RTE with variant blocks can't fully match; needs reporting to Umbraco
• Fixed #88: on a fresh install, approve + publish failed until a restart, because Umbraco runs migrations with notifications suppressed and the user caches never picked up the new approve/publish permissions. User/user group caches are now refreshed after TM's migrations run (#89)
• #89 broke package validation (removed public constructor) and failed the prerelease; restored the old constructor as [Obsolete] (#90)
• Merged #86 (approval node status guard)
• Prerelease 17.9.3-prerelease.18 to the nightly feed and npm (next-17)
• Connectors: forward-ported v17 into v18 across all ten connector repos (DeepL, GlobalLink, Google, AI, CrowdIn, LanguageWire, Microsoft, Passthrough, UmbracoAI, Xliff). No behaviour changes — the backoffice-gate fix was already on v18; carried the switch to a manual prerelease.yml, changelog entries, and Xliff's main → v17/main doc rename. Merged with merge commits so v17 is now an ancestor of v18 everywhere
• Connectors: branch sweep — removed stale merged/unmerged local and remote branches (kept Google's dev/v3), fixed UmbracoAI's local v18/main which was tracking origin/v17/main
• Prerelease 18.3.2-prerelease.19 to the nightly feed; smoke-tested on a fresh Umbraco 18.2.0 + Clean site
• Released 18.3.2 to NuGet and npm: 17.9.2/17.9.3 fixes plus the TranslationProcessingOptions discriminator fix for sites running alongside uSync.Complete. Release notes
