feat(extraction): content-based generated-file detection (CG-5, #1500)

`isGeneratedFile` was path-only, but Go's own convention is a CONTENT
marker (`// Code generated by <tool>. DO NOT EDIT.`), not a filename one.
A Go monorepo with generated CRUD in ordinarily-named files sitting beside
hand-written use-cases was therefore invisible to every generated-file
down-rank in the codebase — that is #1500.

Measured on kubernetes/client-go (2,453 Go files): the canonical banner
appears in 2,001 of them, the path check flags 0, the new content check
flags exactly those 2,001 — no false positives, no misses.

Design: decide at INDEX time (content is already in memory for parsing),
persist on `files.generated`, read from the DB. Explore never reads file
headers per request.

- `hasGeneratedHeader(content)` recognizes the standard banners — Go's,
  protoc's, `@generated`, `<auto-generated>`, Thrift, OpenAPI Generator,
  FlatBuffers, bindgen, ANTLR. Precision-first and fenced three ways: an
  8KB/60-line header window, a comment-line requirement (leader or open
  block comment), and markers tight enough that prose can't trip them. A
  generator's own source, holding the banner as a string constant in its
  body, is not flagged; neither is this module itself (pinned by test).
- `isGeneratedFile(path)` is unchanged — cheap, sync, still the fallback.
- Schema v9 adds `files.generated` + a PARTIAL index. DDL only, no
  backfill: the flag derives from content the migration cannot see, so
  rows stay 0 until a re-index and every reader unions the flag with the
  path check — an un-migrated index keeps pre-#1500 behavior rather than
  regressing. Re-index required; noted in the CHANGELOG.
- `generatedPredicateFor(paths)` gives ranking a bounded probe + O(1)
  lookups. Bounded, not cached: no invalidation, so a ranking call can
  never serve a verdict the last sync already replaced. Wired into explore
  ranking, findSymbolMatches, findAllSymbols, search (MCP + CLI), the
  context formatter, and the dominant-file/route-file hygiene filters.

Cost (acceptance bar was no measurable index-time regression): a single
unanchored `/generat/i` test over the header rejects ~every hand-written
file before any line splitting. 4.6 µs/file on client-go (worst case —
82% generated). End-to-end `codegraph init` on client-go, n=3 alternating
arms: 5.73s median with detection vs 5.76s path-only baseline; the arms
cross over between runs, so the difference is inside run-to-run noise.

Scope note: generated status remains a stable TIEBREAK at equal score,
exactly where it was. Making it a strong negative signal is CG-10, which
this unblocks by making the signal correct and available.

Two pre-existing tests hard-coded schema version 8; both now track
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION (or the migration table) so future migrations
don't require editing them.

### New Features
- Generated code is now recognized by what's written at the top of the file, not just by its filename. Go's own convention — a `// Code generated by … DO NOT EDIT.` line — is a comment, not a naming rule, so a generated `payroll.go` sitting beside hand-written code was previously indistinguishable from it and could outrank the real implementation in `codegraph_explore` and search results. CodeGraph now reads the header while indexing and recognizes the standard banners across languages (Go's, protoc's, `@generated` in JavaScript/TypeScript, `<auto-generated>` in C#, Thrift, OpenAPI Generator, FlatBuffers, ANTLR, bindgen and more), so those files rank behind hand-written source everywhere the existing filename rules already applied. On a Kubernetes `client-go` checkout this identifies 2,001 generated files that filename rules alone caught none of. Re-index after upgrading to pick up the new detection. (#1500)
- Anonymous usage telemetry is now stored entirely on CodeGraph's own first-party infrastructure — no third-party analytics vendor receives any of it, and the endpoint that receives it makes no outbound requests at all. Individual events are deleted after 90 days, leaving only anonymous daily totals. Nothing about what is collected changed, your IP address is still never read or stored, and every off-switch works exactly as before (`codegraph telemetry off`, `CODEGRAPH_TELEMETRY=0`, `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`). `TELEMETRY.md` remains the complete field-by-field list.
