Add a table-insert toolbar button to the markdown editor (#109)

The markdown toolbar offered bold/italic/code/heading/list/quote/link
but no table option, despite README describing table rendering as a
supported feature — the parser already renders manually-typed table
syntax correctly, this was purely a discoverability gap for a user who
wouldn't otherwise know the exact `| Header | Header |` / `|---|---|`
syntax to type from scratch.

Added toolbarTable(), which inserts a 2-column starter template (with
a leading newline only when needed, matching the table syntax's
requirement of a full line to itself) matching exactly what
parseMarkdownTables()'s detection regex expects, wired into the
toolbar's existing data-toolbar-action dispatch. Verified via jsdom
that the inserted template parses into a real HTML table.

 - `migrations/000_baseline.sql` is the full schema baseline for the whole database. It is written to be safe to re-run (idempotent) and is the source of truth for a fresh install.
 - `php migrations/migrate.php` applies any pending migration files in `migrations/` in order, tracking applied files in the `migrations` table. Use `--status` to list state and `--dry-run` to preview without executing.
+- Numbered migrations on top of the baseline (all idempotent, safe to re-run): `001_widen_bulk_operations_status.sql`, `002_fix_collation_consistency.sql`, `003_fk_on_delete_set_null.sql`, `004_fix_ticket_watchers_type.sql`. A fresh install via `000_baseline.sql` already includes all of these; they only matter for upgrading an existing database.
