No man's land: TurnResult.unowned + release/re-claim in applyTurnResult + distinct grey map rendering (#16 P3)

- shared/protocol.ts: TurnResult.unowned (keys released this turn) + the map
  presentation contract (regionFillStyle / unownedTooltipLabel, hue-less grey)
- shared/types.ts: required GameState.unowned (cumulative mid-game releases;
  [] at init, distinct from preset-unassigned regions)
- server/engine.ts: applyTurnResult applies releases first (sole-owner only,
  never fabricating no man's land from unassigned keys), then claims against
  the post-release snapshot (gain on an ownerless key = re-claim); lone
  release is isMeaningful; prompts + user payload carry the unowned field
- server/stub.ts: unchanged behavior (never releases; e2e stays stable)
- server/db.ts: legacy rows load with unowned defaulted to []
- server/index.ts: create-game sets []; jump reference table includes
  released keys so the model can name them for re-claim
- WorldMap/App: unowned prop -> visible grey + 'No man's land' tooltip
- unit tests: 105 -> 127 (release/re-claim suites, presentation contract,
  legacy-row normalization)

// gain it — a double claim (two or more gainers) is rejected so the key
// stays where it is, (b) the key currently has exactly one owner — a
// pre-existing double ownership (or unownership) is never touched, and
// (c) that owner is not the gainer (a self-gain is a no-op). A transfer
// removes the key from every nation first (defensive) and then grants it
// to the gainer; "lose" entries are pure no-ops by design, because a lone
// loss would orphan the key and a valid gain already removes it from the
// old owner. Ownership is therefore conserved: a key can never end a turn
// unowned or multiply-owned.
// Two kinds of change, applied in this order:
//
// (1) RELEASES (`result.unowned`, v0.22 #16 P3): each key that a nation
// CURRENTLY owns (exactly one owner) is removed from that owner, left
// ownerless, and added to `GameState.unowned` — the client renders it
// as the distinct no-man's-land grey. A key with zero owners (a preset
// never assigned it) is never released: doing so would fabricate a
// visible no-man's-land out of an ordinary unowned region. A key with
// two or more owners (pre-existing corruption) is never touched, and
// a key already in `unowned` is a no-op (it is already unowned).
//
// (2) CLAIMS (`gain` entries), resolved against the ownership AFTER the
// releases (snapshot-first):
// - a key with exactly one owner that is not the gainer → a TRANSFER:
// removed from the old owner, granted to the gainer (v0.21 rules);
// - a key with NO owner → a RE-CLAIM: granted to the (sole) gainer and
// removed from `GameState.unowned` (it leaves no man's land);
// - a double claim (two or more distinct gainers) is rejected — the
// key stays as it is; a self-gain is a no-op; a pre-existing double
// ownership is never touched.
//
// Invariants after the turn: no key sits in two or more territories; a
// released key sits in none; `GameState.unowned` holds exactly the
// zero-owner keys that were released mid-game (not the preset-unassigned
// ones). "lose" entries remain deliberate no-ops: releasing is the
// `unowned` list's job, and a lone loss without a release would just
// orphan a key silently.
