Keep each face's quality, and never compare against a poor one

The embedder's raw output has a length, and the length is a reading of
how recognisable the crop was: a blur, an occlusion or a hard profile
comes out short. Normalising threw it away. A short vector sits near
the middle of the sphere and matches a little of everyone, which is how
one bad crop bridges two people in a grouping pass.

So the length is kept — the store now holds the raw vector, re-normalised
on load, with the length beside it as `faces.quality` — and a face under
MIN_GALLERY_QUALITY (14) is a probe: measured against the gallery and
placed where it fits, but never what another face is measured against.
Two probes are never paired, and a probe is nobody's evidence for a
confidence. The People screen shows the number as "Quality 17.3", dimmed
below the floor.

Faces indexed before this stored unit vectors and have no reading; they
are admitted to the gallery, and schema V14 forgets the run marker of
every image holding one so the next indexing pass measures them. A
peer's unmeasured shard faces are not adopted, or a sync would write
that marker back.

-- How recognisable the model found each face, and a second look at the faces
-- it was never asked about.
--
-- The embedder's raw output has a length, and the length is a quality
-- reading: it grows with how much of a face the model could make out, and a
-- blur, an occlusion or a hard profile comes out short (dr_face::embedding,
-- `MIN_GALLERY_QUALITY`). Normalising threw it away. A short vector sits
-- near the middle of the sphere and matches a little of everyone, which is
-- how one bad crop bridges two people in a grouping pass -- so a face below
-- the floor is compared against the others and never compared *against*.
--
-- Nullable, and NULL means "never measured": every face indexed before this
-- version stored the unit vector, whose length is one whatever the crop was.
-- A face with no reading is admitted to the gallery, because a rule that
-- cannot be checked should admit rather than exclude -- but it is also a
-- face this rule is not yet protecting anyone from, and the only way to
-- measure it is to embed it again.
--
-- So the run markers of every image that holds a face are forgotten, exactly
-- as V12 forgot the runs made against too small a proxy, and for the same
-- reason: the work list is "images with no marker", and an image examined
-- without this number is otherwise indistinguishable from one examined with
-- it. The faces stay where they are and keep drawing the People screen until
-- the next pass replaces them, `record_detections` carries the user's
-- confirmations across by box overlap, and an image that was examined and
-- found empty keeps its marker -- there is nothing on it to re-measure.
--
-- The cost is a re-fetch of every image with a face on it, on the next pass
-- the user starts. That is a whole-library transfer (FR-NC-6), and it starts
-- when they say so, not here.
--
-- From this version the `embedding` blob is the **raw** model output rather
-- than the unit vector V8 describes -- the length is the quality, and a store
-- that kept only the direction had thrown it away. Readers re-normalise on
-- load, so a unit blob from before and a raw blob from now compare alike;
-- `quality` is that length kept beside the blob for the readers that never
-- load the vector, and NULL rather than 1.0 for the old rows, because a unit
-- vector reads as a length of one and one is not "unmeasured".
--
-- The column itself is added in `migrate`, guarded, because ALTER has no
-- IF NOT EXISTS and this step has to be re-enterable (NFR-R5).
