Validate a icons section update

Dry-run a icons section merge patch without persisting anything. The request body is the same merge patch the update operation accepts, and on the failing paths the response is exactly what that update would produce: the identical 422 problem, because the same validation code path runs and only persistence is skipped. On a patch that would apply, the response is a 200 `icon_section_validation` confirmation. Nothing is written, no caches are touched, no idempotency key is consumed, and no activity is recorded, so the operation is always safe to repeat. The verdict is advisory: nothing binds it to a later update, and the section can change between the two calls. Requires the `customisers:write` scope (it is the write's dry-run twin). A 400 problem means the body is not valid JSON; a 422 problem with code `invalid_document` means the body is not a JSON object. 401/403/404/429 behave as on the read operation, with `customisers:write` as the required scope.
