Add the PostgreSQL audit backend and a shared conformance suite
AUDIT-WP-0005-T01, built and verified against PostgreSQL 16 locally in
Docker; the Railiance cluster was not needed.

tests/test_backend_conformance.py is one suite run against every backend, so
"the Postgres backend is done" means it satisfies the same contract SQLite
already does rather than having its own green tests. It skips cleanly with no
server reachable; make pg-test-up and make test-pg run it. Suite 50 -> 71.

RetentionPolicy declares immutable=True and earns it: migration 0002 installs
a trigger rejecting UPDATE and DELETE on the events table, so a leaked runtime
credential can append but cannot rewrite or erase the trail. That materially
narrows the residual risk ADR-0001 section 5 called out. tamper_evidence stays
False because nothing here would prove a database owner had dropped the
trigger - hash-chaining or external anchoring would be needed and is not
implemented.

Idempotency is one statement (INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING),
verified to behave identically to the SQLite backend under 12 concurrent
submissions of the same event. Migrations are ordered, recorded and
idempotent. Replay reconciles rather than duplicating - the piece deferred out
of WP-0004-T05 - and is tested to leave exactly one custody record.

Backend selection is by AUDIT_CORE_DATABASE_URL; the SQLite fallback logs a
warning so a deployment that lost its URL is visible rather than quietly
running on the wrong store.

Also fixed: ingestion had no __main__ guard, so python -m audit_core.ingestion
silently did nothing. Found during end-to-end smoke.

Counting semantics documented: occurrences counts transmissions, not stored
events, so a retry of a secret-shaped field increments it again. That is the
sender behaviour being optimized away.

"""Authenticated, idempotent HTTP ingestion for user-engine outbox events.
Response contract (AUDIT-WP-0004-T02). Senders key their retry behaviour off
these, so they are part of the interface, not an implementation detail:
=== ========== =========================================================
202 accepted Event is durably in custody. Do not retry.
200 duplicate Exact resubmission of an event already in custody. Do not
retry; delivery already succeeded.
400 rejected Malformed or disallowed. Retrying will not help — dead
letter it.
401 unauthorized Credential missing or invalid. Do not retry without a
new credential.
409 conflict The event id is held with a different payload. Retrying
will not help; this indicates a sender bug or id reuse.
503 unavailable Not accepted, but retryable. Retry with backoff.
500 error Unexpected fault. Not accepted. Retryable with backoff.
