Per-user Media storage quota

Deferred from #131. Media is stored as BLOBs in the single SQLite file
(ADR-0017) and orphans are tolerated (ADR-0017 / #131), so uploads only ever
grow the file. v1 ships with a per-upload size cap and the optimization step as
the only bounds — no per-user total-storage quota.

Why deferred: users are invite-only and semi-trusted (CONTEXT.md), an
Operator can delete an abusive User (cascading their Media away), and quota is
real machinery (accounting, enforcement, surfacing the limit). Disproportionate
for a small self-hosted instance in v1.

Signal to revisit: DB file size becoming an operational concern — mirroring
how ADR-0016 frames "revisit when write volume outgrows a single writer."
