Expand the documentation for the --permission-audit flag, which was fixed in 51c09ea to no longer throw ERR_ACCESS_DENIED on denied operations. The previous docs only had a two-sentence description in cli.md and no mention in the permissions guide or process.permission API docs. - permissions.md: add enforce vs audit mode overview, a new "Audit Mode" subsection listing the diagnostics channel names (node:permission-model:*) and the { permission, resource } message shape, and a usage example. Update the Runtime API section to mention both --permission and --permission-audit. - cli.md: expand the --permission-audit section to clarify that --permission is not required, --allow-* flags are not needed, errors are not thrown, and --permission takes precedence when both are set. Add a cross-reference from --permission to --permission-audit. - process.md: note that process.permission is available under both flags, and clarify permission.has() and permission.drop() behavior in audit mode. - node.1: regenerated via `make node.1`.
