test(evals): grade five person-only cases by saved state and page links, not reply keywords

consent-read-only, new-quarantined-action, provider-disabled,
secure-api-key and wrong-person-resolves graded the reply with keyword
regexes. They now grade saved state, refused routes and the rendered
link to the setup-chosen page (Permissions, Experimental settings,
Connect your own MCP server). Adds repliedWithPageLink to
external-support.ts (new export only). oracleVersion bumped in code and
descriptor for each case.
