feat: comment categories; emend, relink and resolve corrections

Browse Source 
scienting-layer/1: an optional, fixed category on comment, caveat and
question bodies (comment, context, critique, question, correction,
feedback, resource).

Corrections: emend fixes the authors' own slip and keeps what was printed
(a run's printed), never lowering fidelity or a witness match; relink sets
or removes what a citation names; resolve sets a reference's resolution.

A textual body has a `value`, and optionally a `format` (`text/plain` or `text/markdown`) and a `language`.
A `comment`, `caveat` or `question` body MAY carry a `category`, which says what it is about, from a fixed list:
| `category` | Says |
| --- | --- |
| `comment` | A general remark. |
| `context` | Background, related work, or what a reader should know to follow the span. |
| `critique` | A flaw in the method, the analysis or the argument. |
| `question` | A question. |
| `correction` | An error of fact, number, citation or reference in the paper. |
| `feedback` | A suggestion addressed to the authors. |
| `resource` | Data, code or a related paper. |
A producer that supports categories SHOULD set one on every comment, caveat and question; the property is optional only so that layers written before it stay valid.
The category is independent of the kind, so a caveat may be a `correction` and a question a `critique`.
A `correction` category says that a reader found an error in the paper; correcting the document's reading of it is a correction of [11](11-corrections.md).
The store's `annotations` table keeps the category beside the body's kind ([13.4](13-database.md#134-the-store-tables)).
Nothing a model writes is ever stored as source text.
A model may propose a `description`, and like any annotation it stays `proposed` until a person confirms it; an accessible export uses confirmed descriptions only, and a figure with none has no description.
Other text a model writes about a span, such as a summary, is a `generated` annotation, which names its `generator`.
`fixtures/records/layer/` holds a layer with one annotation of each common kind and the receipt that confirms some of them.
