Fixes GH#523: older versions of bd could close issues without setting
the closed_at timestamp. When importing such issues, validation would
fail with "closed issues must have closed_at timestamp".
This fix adds defensive handling in all issue creation/validation paths:
- If status is "closed" and closed_at is nil, set closed_at to
max(created_at, updated_at) + 1 second
- Similarly for tombstones missing deleted_at
Applied to:
- batch_ops.go: validateBatchIssuesWithCustomStatuses (main import path)
- transaction.go: CreateIssue and CreateIssues
- queries.go: CreateIssue
- multirepo.go: upsertIssueInTx
Also adds comprehensive tests for the defensive fix.

When auto-importing issues from JSONL, issues with different prefixes
(e.g., gt-1 vs gastown-) would fail validation and cause an infinite
loop of failed migrations.
The fix adds SkipPrefixValidation option to CreateIssuesWithFullOptions
which propagates through EnsureIDs to skip prefix validation for issues
that already have IDs during import. This allows importing issues with
any prefix while still validating new issues created interactively.

Phase 2 of fixing import failure on missing parent issues (bd-d19a).
Implemented:
- TryResurrectParent: searches JSONL history for deleted parents
- TryResurrectParentChain: recursively resurrects entire parent chains
- Creates tombstones (status=closed) to preserve hierarchical structure
- Modified EnsureIDs and CreateIssue to call resurrection before validation
When importing a child issue with missing parent:
1. Searches .beads/issues.jsonl for parent in git history
2. If found, creates tombstone with status=closed
3. Preserves original title and metadata
4. Appends original description to tombstone
5. Copies dependencies if targets exist
This allows imports to proceed even when parents were deleted,
enabling multi-repo workflows and normal database hygiene operations.
Part of bd-d19a (fix import failure on missing parents).
