Add baseline reconciliation: accept audited drift with a reason

Implements the v0.9 roadmap item from the approved design spec. Operators
accept a specific FIM/package/listener/SUID drift item with a mandatory
reason; the ack suppresses that one alert only while the live state still
matches the recorded fingerprint. Content kinds (fim/pkgfile) re-alert on
further change; identity kinds (listener/suid) retire on TTL or revoke.

- reconcile.py: ReconcileStore (mtime-cached, fails closed on missing/corrupt
  store), fingerprint builders, and the filter_alerts chokepoint.
- CLI: baseline accept/revoke/list with --reason/--expires/--force/--stale/--json.
- Wired at the daemon sweep + eBPF chokepoint, fim-check, and /api/integrity.
- RECONCILE_V1 schema, config knob, COMMAND_REFERENCE/SCHEMAS/OPERATIONS/ROADMAP
  docs, and reconcile unit/CLI/integration tests.

"""Baseline reconciliation — accept legitimate drift with an audited reason.
The daemon re-alerts on every sweep for drift it cannot distinguish from an
attack: a config file the operator edited, a service that started after boot, a
package-installed SUID binary. Rebuilding baselines silently folds the change in
with no record of *why*; permanent config allowlists carry no per-item reason
and never expire.
This module is the missing middle ground. An operator *accepts* a specific,
identified drift item with a mandatory reason; the acknowledgement suppresses
that one alert **only while the live state still matches the accepted
fingerprint**. The moment the item changes again (or its TTL expires) the ack
goes stale and the alert returns. Every acceptance records who, when, why, and
the exact fingerprint, in a single queryable store.
No other module is aware of ack semantics: detectors keep emitting alerts and
``ReconcileStore.filter_alerts`` drops the acknowledged ones at a chokepoint.
Scope: ``fim``/``pkgfile`` acks are content-bound (they go stale automatically
when the file changes); ``listener``/``suid`` acks are identity-bound (a
different port/comm or path is a new, unrelated alert, so only TTL expiry or an
explicit revoke staleness them). eBPF-only signatures with no baseline concept
are out of scope.
