fix(lint+test): widen prefer-undefined-over-null skips for assertions + nullable initializers

Two narrow exceptions added locally because the canonical rule was
rewriting them and breaking the type-exports test:

1. isAssertionLibraryArg — `expect(x).toBe(null)` / `.toEqual(null)` /
   `assert.equal(x, null)` / chai `.equal(null)`. The `null` is the
   semantic value being asserted; rewriting to `undefined` flips the
   test contract.

2. isNullableTypeInitializer — `const x: Foo | null = null` initializers
   where the annotation explicitly includes `null` AND no `undefined`.
   The annotation is the contract; flipping the value alone makes the
   declaration redundant. Sister case to the existing
   hasNullTypeAnnotation skip but tighter (declarator-only, requires
   `null` in the union).

Test workaround: rewrote `const value4: QualifiersValue = null` as
`JSON.parse('null') as null` so the autofix won't touch it while
preserving the original type-acceptance check.

Drift from socket-repo-template/template: these widenings should land
upstream. Tracked as a follow-up cascade item.
