fix(gate): stop injecting the redundant Altro option on select gates

buildSelectRequest injected an `altroOption` ({id:"other", opens:freetext}) into the
select descriptor, but SelectWidget/MultiselectWidget never route option.opens — so it
rendered as an inert "Altro — specifica…" button next to the working reserved
"Other — specify" control (which now owns free-text since the reviewer-gate-ux fix).
Remove the injection, the now-unused altroOption()/ALTRO_LABEL, and the unused
allow_other flag from both builders (no frontend consumer). Free-text stays offered on
every gate via the reserved "Other" control. The ArtifactGateWidget opens/LinkageHost
linkage (reject-with-reason capability) is intentionally kept — it is a separate,
tested feature, not the injected duplicate.
