Add normalize_recipe skill

normalize_recipe v1 turns a recipe page's title, raw ingredient lines,
steps and JSON-LD times into {ingredients: [{name, qty, unit, note}],
method, difficulty, minutes_total}. skills.NormalizeRecipe always runs it
at temperature 0. Validation requires one named ingredient per input line,
in order, so a mismatch gets the harness's repair turn. Code-derived
values win over the model's: JSON-LD total minutes, crockpot for a slow
cooker or crock pot mention, and a derived difficulty when the model gives
none. Golden tests with the Fake provider cover a typical recipe, a
repaired line-count mismatch, a slow-cooker recipe forced to crockpot and
JSON-LD minutes overriding the model.
