feat(person): enforce person-delete integrity at the DB layer (V71) (#684)

Add ON DELETE behaviour to the two V1 FKs into persons (documents.sender_id
-> SET NULL, document_receivers.person_id -> CASCADE) and a real FK with
ON DELETE CASCADE on the transcription_block_mentioned_persons soft reference,
cleaning up pre-existing orphan mention rows first. The cascade stays strictly
at the join/reference layer and never reaches documents rows.

Proven by new Postgres-backed PersonRepositoryTest cascade tests (AC-1/2/3/8
plus the cascade-boundary document-survival guard). Rewrites the now-stale
V56 'no FK' comment.

-- Move person-delete referential integrity from application code into the database (#684).
--
-- Before this migration, PersonService.deletePerson nulled documents.sender_id and removed
-- document_receivers rows in Java before deleting the person, because the two V1 FKs into
-- persons had no ON DELETE behaviour. Any other delete path (a future endpoint, a manual
-- psql, a batch job) could still orphan rows or 500. This migration makes the database the
-- single source of truth so a person delete is safe from every path.
--
-- Cascade boundary: the cascade stays STRICTLY at the join/reference layer and NEVER reaches
-- documents rows — a cascade into documents would destroy historical letters. sender_id is
-- SET NULL (documents.senderText preserves the raw textual attribution); the receiver join
-- row and the @-mention sidecar row are dropped.
--
-- No NOT VALID + VALIDATE two-step: these tables are small (thousands of rows → sub-second
-- ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock). Do NOT copy this drop-and-recreate pattern onto a large table.
--
-- Not audit-logged: a DB ON DELETE cascade runs below AuditService — a known, accepted trade.
-- The person-delete action itself is still logged at the service layer.
-- documents.sender_id → ON DELETE SET NULL (deleted sender clears the link; the document survives).
