FEAT-14a: Charakterbogen on Gerbil (traits + note) + sale-ad request extension

- Gerbil.CharacterTraits (List<string>, JSON text column, opaque labels) + CharacterNote
  (string?). On GerbilDto + Input; round-trips on GET/POST/PUT. Additive migration.
- SaleAdAnimal gains Traits (German labels) + CharacterNote; prompt builder emits
  "Charakter: …" + "Charakter-Notiz: …" lines for the AI Verkaufstext.
- Tests: traits/note round-trip (POST->GET via SQLite host), empty-default, prompt inclusion.
