fix: restore scoring signals lost in the evidence DB round-trip

Production scores come from _rescore_submission, which re-reads evidence via
_domain_evidence_from_ui and re-scores. Serialization dropped the promoted /
entity fields and the precise EvidenceSource, so on every rescore Naver
promotion (+40) and Google web-entity (+40) silently scored 0 and skip
evidence was mis-restored as FAILURE (+30 phantom).

- store_serialization: persist domainSource / promoted / promotionReason /
  entity / category in _evidence_payload and restore them in
  _domain_evidence_from_ui; resolve the source from the persisted enum
  (keyword heuristic kept only as a legacy fallback).
- search_result_promoter: structural no-result detection (covers image/blog/
  web variants), scan only result fields not the query, add Korean rights
  markers (excluding over-generic substrings).
- risk_scoring: dedup promoted Naver hits by query_signature; drop zero-point
  skip reasons from the operator-facing reasons list.

Tests: round-trip regression (promoted naver / web entity / two distinct
entities score > 0; skip adds no phantom points) + skip-reason exclusion.
