improvement(copilot): make copilot_messages the sole transcript store, remove JSONB dual-write

Stop writing/reading the legacy copilot_chats.messages JSONB column now that
reads are cut over to copilot_messages. Make appendCopilotChatMessages the
primary write (throws on failure instead of swallowing), repoint peripheral
readers (workspace VFS, chat cleanup, data drains, fork, superuser import) to
copilot_messages, and persist the assistant turn inside finalizeAssistantTurn's
transaction so it commits atomically with the stream-marker clear. The column
itself is dropped in a follow-up migration after this bakes.
