terminology: spawn → pour/wisp for molecules (gt-9uy0)

Browse Source 
Molecules use chemistry verbs, not spawn:
- pour = create persistent mol (liquid)
- wisp = create ephemeral wisp (vapor)
- spawn = polecats only (workers)

Changes:
- Delete chemistry-design-changes.md (migration doc)
- Remove migration tables from sling-design.md
- Update bond tables: Spawn → Pour/Wisp
- Rename spawnMoleculeFromProto → pourMoleculeFromProto
- Rename spawnMoleculeOnIssue → runMoleculeOnIssue
- Update templates: bd mol spawn → bd wisp
- Update prime.go: commands and messages
- Clean all docs and comments
