feat(engine): record + persist winning replays on disk

- New `RecordingReplay` resource (in `game_plugin`): in-memory move
  buffer that accumulates atomic player inputs as they're applied to
  `GameState`. Cleared on every `NewGameRequestEvent` so a fresh deal
  starts from an empty list.
- `handle_move` and `handle_draw` push the corresponding `ReplayMove`
  on success only — invalid / rejected events never enter the buffer.
  `Undo` is intentionally not recorded; the replay represents the
  canonical path to victory, not the missteps that were rolled back.
- `record_replay_on_win` listens for `GameWonEvent`, freezes the
  buffer into a `Replay` (seed + draw_mode + mode + score + duration
  + today's date + the move list), and persists atomically to
  `<data_dir>/solitaire_quest/latest_replay.json` via the new
  `ReplayPath` resource.
- Empty-recording guard: synthesised win events from XP / streak /
  weekly-goal tests must not clobber the developer's real replay
  file. A real win always has at least one recorded move.
- 5 dedicated tests cover ordering, rejected-move skipping, undo
  skipping, new-game clearing, and the freeze→save round-trip.
