marcus 5698196c43 feat: create_category + delete_category tools (v0.4.11)
Verified via systematic FW_DEBUG=1 probing:
- taskcategoryput: requires 'name'; optional 'emoji' (Unicode or string code)
  accepted as-is. 'listId' param has no per-list effect — categories are
  family-wide.
- taskcategorydelete: uses 'id' param (not 'metaId'), returns r='true'.

Changes:
- create_category(list_id, name, icon=None): creates custom category via
  taskcategoryput; icon maps to 'emoji' API param
- delete_category(category_id): safety check via accgetallfamily looks up
  rights.canDelete='true'; system categories (rights.canDelete=null) are
  refused with a clear error
- get_categories: now exposes 'custom' bool field (rights.canDelete='true')
  so callers can identify deletable categories
- SPEC.md: document taskcategoryput + taskcategorydelete params, responses,
  error formats, and system-category protection behaviour
