Let supersede() reissue an expired approval given a fresh window

expired stays a terminal exit from valid (state machine unchanged),
but supersede() now also accepts it as a source status when the
caller supplies a validity window, linking a new successor approval
to the expired original instead of requiring a caller to mint an
unlinked replacement from scratch. Without a fresh window, an expired
source still conflicts exactly as before.

The original's status becomes superseded (not left as a bare dead-end
expired) and superseded_by points at the successor, so the link is
documented rather than hidden -- informed-decision's overview already
renders this automatically, no changes needed there.

Prompted by the operator missing infd-20260927-b01's approval window
during today's key-cape login outage (APPROVAL-WP-0003).
