🐾 fix(api): cascade collection and item deletes too

Collection and Item DELETE — both the REST endpoints and the HTML
views — called bare .delete(), leaking each collection's Items and every
item's Chunks/Images/ImageEmbeddings. New delete_collection_cascade and
delete_item_cascade in the shared library_delete service now back all
four paths. No orphan-Concept GC in either (that invariant stays
library-delete-only, matching the existing supersede path); the ingest
supersede helper in tasks.py now delegates to delete_item_cascade
instead of duplicating its Cypher.
