Fix position management tests

- position-form.page: fix form field selectors to match Angular source
  (positionTitle, positionNumber, positionDescription, departmentId, salaryRangeId);
  add selectFirstOption() to auto-select required dropdowns; update fillForm()
  to accept positionNumber and fill all required fields automatically

- position-crud: fix createPositionData() call to use title key (not name);
  fix delete to use ConfirmDialogComponent Material dialog and waitForResponse
  with case-insensitive URL; fix search to use title search field and full
  title match; fix display test to click view button; fix duplicate test to
  get title from correct column (2nd, not 1st which is positionNumber)

- position-rbac: rewrite to match actual app behavior:
  - /positions has no route guard — Manager and Employee CAN view the list
  - /positions/create and /positions/edit/:id are guarded by hrAdminGuard
  - Manager sees Add Position + Edit buttons (by design in template)
  - Manager does NOT see Delete button (HRAdmin only)
  - Employee has no action buttons at all
