feat: add absorb command — merge source entity into target

DB: Absorb() merges body (newline-separated), unions tags, demotes
crystallized sources, soft-deletes source. Rejects crystallized targets.

API: POST /api/entities/:id/absorb { source_id }

CLI: nib absorb <target> <source> with prefix ID resolution

Web: absorb button on fluid entities, 'a' keyboard shortcut,
source picker modal
