feat: add owner field for human attribution in HOP CV chains

Add 'owner' field to Issue struct for tracking the human responsible
for the issue, distinct from 'created_by' which tracks the executor.
Owner is populated from git author email (GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL or git
config user.email), per Decision 008 for CV accumulation.

Changes:
- Add Owner field to types.Issue with omitempty JSON tag
- Include Owner in content hash computation
- Add owner column migration (036_owner_column.go)
- Update all SQL queries to include owner field
- Add getOwner() helper using git author email fallback chain
- Populate owner in bd create command
- Add owner to RPC CreateArgs protocol
