Enable the weapon beam device in every region that places its object

The Almighty's weapon beam is an object AND the type-23 device that drives it,
but only apex ever enabled the device. Powerhouse, Processing and Cinder each
place their beam object and never touch its device, so the beam sat there as an
unpowered prop:

  region 64  POWERHOUSE_CORE_WEAPON_LASER_BEAM_DEVICE   never referenced
  region 56  CORE_WEAPON_LASER_BEAM_DEVICE              object placed only
  region 40  CINDER_CORE_WEAPON_LASER_BEAM_DEVICE       object placed only
  region 0   SPECOPS_APEX_RING_*_DEVICE                 unlocked and powered

Each region now unlocks and powers its beam device beside the object, which is
the treatment apex already gave the ring. Position is only one of a type-23's
three lanes; a device that is never unlocked and powered stays inert however its
position is driven, which is consistent with the apex ring devices animating
their position lane while the beam itself never responded.

Adds route_support.lane/enable_device for the power and lock lanes, which were
previously reachable only through apex's own local helper.

The controller suite now asserts the powerhouse device is enabled rather than
merely placed; its mock transition vocabulary was position-only.

22 portable tests and five Lua suites pass.
