Import dedup transparency + override; bulk transaction actions

Paste-import now returns each skipped duplicate WITH the matched
existing row (id, merchant, date, amount, source) instead of a bare
count, and accepts allow_duplicates to force-import false positives —
the practical fix for same-day identical purchases hashing together
(UX-20; supersedes the BE-08 hash change, which would have orphaned
every existing hash). POST /transactions/bulk applies
delete/set_category/set_deferred to up to 500 ids atomically. 82 tests.
