feat(runtime): add drift detection for cross-region and cross-account resources

Adds protection against attempting to manage AWS resources that exist in a
different region or account than the controller is configured to use. This
prevents accidental resource hijacking and provides clear error messages.

- Add `regionDrifted()` and `accountDrifted()` helper functions
- Check for drift before creating resource manager in Reconcile
- Return terminal errors when drift is detected
- Add comprehensive tests for both region and account drift scenarios
