feat(tui): include backlinks in link picker
CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 2m25s

Link picker now shows both outgoing [[links]] and backlinks in
a unified list with section headers. Backlinks follow by entity
ID directly, outgoing links resolve by text. Navigating into a
backlink works the same as following an outgoing link — pushes
to nav stack, esc pops back.
