Add manual context field for AI insights

Free-text setting fed directly into every briefing's prompt as ground
truth (e.g. "Joseph Trice-Rolph is on a flexi rota, has no fixed rota
shifts — account for that in overspend"), so known context the data
itself can't show doesn't get flagged as an anomaly. New
ai_insights_manual_context config key, a textarea in Settings, and a
top-of-prompt section in the job with an explicit instruction to treat
it as ground truth.
