feat(event-triage): per-user check interval, overriding the instance one
Event triage is the one system agent whose right cadence depends on who it
runs for: it fires on inbound events, so someone on a dozen mailing lists
has something waiting on nearly every tick while a quiet account has
something waiting almost never. A single instance-wide interval serves one
of them badly, and the observed failure is the first: the agent starts on
practically every pass.

An admin can now set a per-person interval on that user's page (Users ->
the person -> Event triage). Empty means "follow the instance setting",
which stays the state nobody has a row for.

- New registry table `system_agent_user_settings(agent_id, user_id,
  interval_secs)`. A row is an override and its absence is inheritance --
  no sentinel value, no row seeded at user creation, clearing the field
  deletes the row. Registry rather than the user's own file because the
  writer is the admin and a member's database is unreadable unless they
  happen to be logged in; a setting that could only be changed during its
  subject's session would not be a setting. Keyed by agent_id though only
  one agent uses it, so a future agent's schedule is not a schema change.

- `SystemAgent` gains `interval_secs_for(user_id)`, which `is_due` now
  measures against, and `shortest_interval_secs()`. Both default to the
  existing `interval_secs`, so every other agent implements nothing. The
  second is the non-obvious half: `base_tick` sleeps for the shortest
  interval any enabled agent asks for, so without it an override below the
  instance value would be rounded up to it -- an override that works when
  it lengthens and silently does nothing when it shortens.

- `GET/PUT /api/users/{id}/event-triage`, admin-gated, minutes on the
  wire, null to clear. Nothing rides the bus: the scheduler re-reads the
  interval every tick and due-ness is counted from the user's own last
  attempt, so a change lands on the next wake-up with no push.

Both helpers fail open onto the instance value -- an unreadable registry
must not turn into an agent that stops running for someone.

Docs: docs/system-agents.md gains the per-person section and no longer
reads as if the interval were one number for everybody.
