landlock: Allow TSYNC with LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF and fd=-1

LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC does not allow
LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF with ruleset_fd=-1, preventing
a multithreaded process from atomically propagating subdomain log muting
to all threads without creating a domain layer.  Relax the fd=-1
condition to accept TSYNC alongside LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF, and update the
documentation accordingly.

Add flag validation tests for all TSYNC combinations with ruleset_fd=-1,
and audit tests verifying both transition directions: muting via TSYNC
(logged to not logged) and override via TSYNC (not logged to logged).
