feat: receipt unlink and attachment withdrawal

Posted entries stay immutable (R-3), but their evidence can now change the
same way the ledger does: by appending events, never by editing or
deleting. New R-13a.

- books.unlink_receipt {attachment_id, reason} journals receipt.unlinked
  and leaves the receipt filed, unlinked. The receipt policy holds: an
  entry that requires a receipt can't lose its last one (structured
  receipt_required error), so a replacement is attach-new, then
  unlink-old. Drafts and reversals are exempt, as at posting.
- books.withdraw_attachment {attachment_id, reason} journals
  attachment.withdrawn for an unlinked receipt or a filed document: hidden
  from list_receipts (unless include_withdrawn), never linkable again. The
  blob stays in the store, hash-verified and readable.
- link_receipt now refuses an already-linked or withdrawn attachment.
  Before, re-linking silently moved a receipt off a posted entry,
  bypassing the policy; evidence now leaves an entry only through a
  recorded unlink. dispose_asset checks its receipt ids before posting
  instead of after.
- Schema v5 adds attachments.withdrawn_at/withdrawn_reason; existing
  stores migrate on open and replay rebuilds the projection.

Tests: store test (errors, reopen, rebuild, verify, journal history) and
an MCP stdio test (policy refusal, replace flow, withdraw, listings,
under-threshold unlink). Dry-run and live use on the Wanderland Labs books:
8 migrated .eml attachments swapped for their PDF renders, trial balance
unchanged.

`attachment.withdrawn` (`attachment_id`, `reason`) retires an unlinked
receipt or a document (`withdrawn_at`, `withdrawn_reason` columns, schema
v5). Linking requires an unlinked, non-withdrawn attachment, so evidence
only leaves an entry through a recorded unlink. Blobs are untouched: a
withdrawn file is still hash-verified and readable, and the journal shows
when it was filed, linked, unlinked, and withdrawn, and why.

posting *requires* a receipt is decided by the MCP layer's receipt policy
(`docs/mcp-interface.md`), which reads the `attachments` table.

## Receipt policy (MCP phase)
- **R-13a — Receipt corrections.** Posted entries are immutable (R-3); their
evidence is not frozen but is append-only. A receipt is replaced by
attaching the new one and unlinking the old with a reason; unwanted
receipts and documents are withdrawn with a reason. Unlinking may never
leave an entry the policy (R-13) requires a receipt for with none. Every
step is a journal event; no blob is deleted.
- **R-13 — Receipt enforcement.** The MCP layer (not the engine — the engine
stays policy-free) enforces a configurable receipt policy: postings at or
above a threshold (`require_receipts_above`, default `"25.00"` in base
