feat(B-NOTIF): Notification→Message Konsolidierung — System-Channel, post_system_message(), Migration

B-NOTIF-SYS: CommConversation um is_system Feld erweitert, get_or_create_system_channel()
B-NOTIF-EVT: post_system_message() in kommunikation/services.py — erstellt CommMessage im System-Channel
- create_notification() als deprecated Wrapper delegiert auf post_system_message()
- Text-Block + action_card Block mit Deep-Link, Metadata: notification_type/severity/entity_ref
B-NOTIF-PREF: NotificationPreference als Routing-Konfiguration, stumm/disabled respektiert
B-NOTIF-MIG: Migration 0120 — Notifications → CommMessages migriert, notifications_legacy View
B-NOTIF-DEPREC: Notification-Routes als deprecated markiert, keine Routes entfernt
B-NOTIF-TEST: 19 Tests in test_notification_migration.py — alle grün
- System-Channel, post_system_message, create_notification Wrapper, Preferences, Unread-Badge, Migration Mapping, Sensitive Fields
