fix: Remove escalation — planner routes through vault instead (#721)

Remove ESCALATED signal and escalation handling from planner, supervisor,
and gardener. When blocked on external resources or human decisions, these
agents now file vault procurement items (vault/pending/*.md) instead of
escalating directly to the human.

Changes:
- Planner formula: ESCALATED signal replaced with HUMAN_BLOCKED; files
  vault items and marks prerequisites as blocked-on-vault
- Supervisor formula/prompt: escalation sections replaced with vault item
  filing; preflight now reports pending vault items instead of escalation
  replies
- Gardener formula: ESCALATE action replaced with VAULT action; files
  vault/pending/*.md for human decisions
- Groom-backlog formula: same ESCALATE→VAULT replacement
- Gardener shell: PHASE:escalate replaced with PHASE:failed for merge
  blocks and CI exhaustion; escalation reply consumption removed
- Supervisor shell: escalation reply consumption removed from both
  supervisor-run.sh and legacy supervisor-poll.sh
- Prerequisite tree: #466 updated from "escalated" to "blocked-on-vault"

The vault is the factory's only interface to the human for resources and
approvals. Dev/action agents retain PHASE:escalate for operational session
issues (CI timeouts, merge blocks) which are a different mechanism.
