feat(attributes): per-scope fetch-all + scope-separated gateway response

Actor getAttributesKvEntries: explicit per-scope all/specific/none with all-wins;
both-absent keeps the 'fetch everything' backward-compat. Echo separateScopesResponse
request->response. JsonConverter.getJsonObjectForGateway emits {client,shared} when
separateScopesResponse, else legacy value/values. Unit test for the converter.
