Add discontinued date and precision to core gear specs

[Flohhhhh]

Summary

Adds discontinuedDate and discontinuedDatePrecision to core gear specs, mirroring the existing release/announced date+precision pair across the full spec surface.

Changes

• Schema: new nullable discontinued_date + discontinued_date_precision columns on gear
• Edit UI: paired precision ToggleGroup + DateInput after release date
• Spec registry display with formatDateWithPrecision
• Change-request preview, edit-success, and admin approvals date formatting
• Normalizer validation, trusted auto-approval overwrite allowlist for precision, catalog cache invalidation
• Developer API catalog + gear detail serializers
• i18n keys in all locales; docs updated

Out of scope

Gear cards/tables, browse sort/filter coalesce, bulk import, and “new” badge logic (discontinued stays independent of release/announced coalesce).

Notes

Schema is additive. Maintainers should run db:push / generate migrations on merge — this PR does not include migration files.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds discontinuedDate and discontinuedDatePrecision across the gear schema, edit form, specification registry, developer catalog serialization, localized messages, and trusted-contributor approval rules.

Discontinued Date Support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Persistence and payload normalization src/server/db/schema.ts, src/server/db/normalizers.ts, tests/unit/db-normalizers.test.ts	The gear table and proposal normalizer support discontinued dates and validated precision values, including UTC conversion and explicit clearing.
Editing and specification display src/app/.../edit-gear/*, src/lib/specs/registry.tsx, src/app/.../gear-proposals-list.tsx, src/app/.../edit-success/page.tsx, messages/*.json, tests/unit/core-fields.test.ts, tests/unit/spec-registry-i18n.test.ts	The editor captures paired date and precision values, diffs and previews format them, and the specification registry displays localized precision-aware values.
Developer catalog propagation src/server/developer-api/*, src/server/admin/proposals/service.ts, tests/unit/developer-api-*.test.ts, docs/developer-api.md, docs/gear-specification-system.md	Catalog queries, types, serializers, cache invalidation detection, tests, and documentation include the new fields.
Trusted contributor approval rules src/lib/gear/change-request-field-policy.ts, tests/unit/gear-edit-submission.test.ts, docs/gear-editing/auto-approvals.md, docs/spec-editing-flow-design.md	Non-empty discontinued precision replacements are allowlisted for auto-approval, while clears and discontinued date changes remain reviewable.
