feat(mcp): typed-entity tools (person/place/list)

Nine tools — list/create/update for each of person, place, list.
Get and delete reuse fable_get_note / fable_delete_note (typed
entities share the Note model).

Lists: the wrappers accept an `items: list[str]` for ergonomics and
translate to the {text, checked} dict shape that
services/knowledge.py and KnowledgeView.vue expect. items=[] clears;
items=None leaves unchanged.

Updates do an explicit get → merge → update round trip so updating
one typed field doesn't clobber the others stored alongside it in
entity_meta (which is a single JSONB column).

"""Typed-entity MCP tools: person, place, list.
These are notes with a non-'note' note_type and type-specific JSON metadata
stored in the entity_meta column. Three tools per type — list, create, update.
For get and delete, use fable_get_note / fable_delete_note (typed entities
share the Note model).
The wrappers translate typed-field kwargs into the entity_meta dict shape that
KnowledgeView.vue and services/knowledge.py expect.
Lists: a list entity stores its items in entity_meta["list_items"] as a list
of {text, checked} dicts. The create/update tools take a simpler `items` list
of plain strings for ergonomics; checked-state is reset to False on each call.
