feat(mail): read and index Nextcloud Mail via the Mail OCS API

Add read-only support for the Nextcloud Mail app, plus semantic indexing
of mail messages. The MCP server never speaks IMAP/POP3 itself: it calls
the Mail app's CSRF-free OCS API (/ocs/v2.php/apps/mail/api/...) with the
existing Basic-Auth app-password flow and an OCS-APIRequest header, and the
Mail app handles IMAP server-side.

- client/mail.py: MailClient (accounts, mailboxes, messages, message,
  attachment), OCS-envelope aware.
- models/mail.py: Pydantic models with the API's camelCase aliases.
- server/mail.py: 5 read-only MCP tools (mail.read scope), registered in
  AVAILABLE_APPS.
- Vector pipeline: new "mail_message" doc_type wired into scanner
  (scan_mail_messages, newest-N per mailbox), processor (body -> markdown
  embedding), per-id verifier, and context expansion.
- Tests: client API, model round-trips, verifier behavior; consent-backstop
  test now derives its allowed set from INDEXED_DOC_TYPES.
- README + semantic-search docstrings updated.

Requires Mail 5.x / Nextcloud 32+ and a mail account configured in the
Mail app. Follow-up: astrolabe must advertise "mail_message" in its
enabled_doc_types capability for search under admin doc_type restriction.
