feat(documents): badge undated rows instead of a bare em-dash

DocumentRow rendered a bare em-dash for null-dated letters — a glyph a
screen reader announces as nothing. Both breakpoints now render the single
DocumentDate component unconditionally (no {#if}/—/{:else}), so the cue
cannot drift; its unknown state is a neutral metadata chip ("Datum
unbekannt", text-ink-3, ≥4.5:1 both themes) with a non-color calendar glyph,
never red/amber. Present dates render at honest precision via
formatDocumentDate ("Juni 1916", not a fabricated day).
