feat(verify): reality-based cross-reference (Wikidata) + promotion veto

[Seungpyo1007]

Accuracy must be reality-based. Cross-reference now queries Wikidata for the release year and CONTRADICTS (vetoes promotion, even for green records) when the year disagrees; CONFIRMS when it matches (strongest promote). Where no authoritative external entity exists (obscure CPU SKUs), it falls back to the green heuristic (internal consistency + reputable live source + enrichment match). Greens are now cross-referenced so reality can confirm/veto them. Refs #1

Warning

Tracked verified coverage is below 50% for brand 0.0% (0/189), tablet 0.0% (0/3048), watch 0.0% (0/378), pda 0.0% (0/110), gpu 0.0% (0/2030), smartphone 0.2% (184/90118), all 1.2% (1218/101954), soc 2.8% (58/2104), and 1 more.
Tracked coverage excludes records missing the verified field; see the Missing verified column for those records.
This does not fail validation. Keep imported records verified: false until manual audit, but treat this as follow-up verification work before relying on the affected categories as curated data.

Validation notes

• Full advisory outlier listings are suppressed on successful runs because they are dataset-wide and mostly stable between PRs.
• Failure runs still include a detailed log excerpt for debugging.
