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).

This change improves information density by using Base36 (0-9, a-z) instead
of hex (0-9, a-f) for hash-based issue IDs. Key benefits:
- Shorter IDs: Can now use 3-char IDs (was 4-char minimum)
- Better scaling: 3 chars good for ~160 issues, 4 chars for ~980 issues
- Case-insensitive: Maintains excellent CLI usability
- Backward compatible: Old hex IDs continue to work
Changes:
- Implemented Base36 encoding with proper truncation (keep LSB)
- Updated adaptive length thresholds (3-8 chars instead of 4-8)
- Fixed collision probability math to match encoding (was calculating
for base36 but encoding in hex - now both use base36)
- Fixed ID parser bug (use prefixWithHyphen for substring matching)
- Updated all tests and test data patterns
