feat: expose row-level can_edit/can_delete on select *

Compute per-row editability and deletability from a table's row-level
security policies and return them as synthetic columns so clients can
hide edit/delete affordances for rows the user cannot change.

- Introspect pg_policies and relrowsecurity at schema-cache load and
  combine the UPDATE/DELETE USING qualifiers per table (permissive OR,
  restrictive AND).
- Store the combined qualifiers on Table and inject can_edit/can_delete
  as computed select fields when expanding `select *`, only for
  RLS-enabled tables with a matching policy (COALESCE'd to a boolean).
- Keep the computed columns out of the OpenAPI spec so they are not
  rendered as regular fields.
- Add a cfExpression field to CoercibleField to carry raw SQL
  expressions through the planner to SqlFragment.
