fix(doctor): Preserve parent-child dependencies in child→parent check (GH#750)

The CheckChildParentDependencies detection and ChildParentDependencies fix
were flagging ALL child→parent dependencies, including legitimate
'parent-child' type structural hierarchy relationships.

Now only blocking types (blocks, conditional-blocks, waits-for) are
detected as anti-patterns. The 'parent-child' type is a legitimate
hierarchy marker used for:
- Tracking parent-child relationships
- Transitive block propagation (if parent blocked, children blocked)
- Hierarchy visualization in external tools

Changes:
- Add type filter to SELECT queries (only blocking types)
- Add type filter to DELETE statement (preserve parent-child)
- Add regression test TestChildParentDependencies_PreservesParentChildType
