PC3 Phase 1.3: backend avatar loadout persistence

New avatar_loadouts table (one row per user, loadout stored as a single
JSONB document matching the client's AvatarLoadout.to_json() shape) and
GET/PUT /api/avatar/loadout.

The server has no copy of the asset catalog, so it validates only the
envelope (JSON object, non-empty base_body, object slots, size cap) --
which-asset-in-which-slot validation stays client-side. New accounts get a
server default (base_human_male_01, no slots) with is_default:true so the
client can tell "never customised" from "customised back to base".

- models/avatar_loadout.py + 0004 migration + User.avatar_loadout relation
- routers/avatar.py wired into main.py
- tests/test_avatar_loadout.py (7 tests: default, save/read, replace,
  validation, auth) -- full suite 68 passed
- lifted the duplicated _override_db fixture from 3 test files into
  conftest.py (new test files need it too)
- docs/architecture/avatar.md §9a: the persistence design
