feat(cases): create a new case in a custom folder

POST /api/cases takes an optional path; Add Case > Create New gets a 'Create in a
custom folder' option with Browse. The folder is created (or an empty one filled),
scaffolded like a normal case and registered as a linked case. System, home,
credential and Codeman folders are refused; a folder with files is Link Existing's
job; a failure after the first write undoes what this call created. Admin only in
multi-user mode, like Link Existing.

| **Clone Repo** | Working on an existing repo: public, or private once this machine's git can authenticate (the Docker image can include `gh`/`az` helpers for this). Paste the URL; Codeman preflights it as you type, offers the repo's real branches and tags, and fills in the case name. |
