feat(P05): seal/audit CLI + chain race fix + key zeroing (REQ-154)

New CLI commands:
- orca cluster seal: OIDC/CA-derived seal + Shamir 3-of-5 shards
- orca cluster unseal: OIDC/CA unseal + --recovery Shamir path
- orca doctor audit: VerifyChain + chain head report
- orca doctor modes: EnforceFileModes across ORCA_HOME

Fixes:
- audit hash-chain race: Append uses BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction
  (concurrent appends no longer corrupt tamper-evidence)
- secrets rotate-master: re-seals to OIDC on sealed clusters
  (was writing raw key, docstring claimed re-seal)
- key zeroing: ZeroKey helper + defer after master/namespace key use
  (defense-in-depth against pprof heap extraction)
- store.Open: busy_timeout(5000) pragma (concurrent writers wait)

Tests: 18 new test functions (seal round-trip, Shamir recovery, doctor
audit tamper detection, doctor modes 0644 rejection, concurrent append
chain integrity, rotate-master re-seal, key zeroing).
