Mike Bridge a62d85d798 feat(versioning): force-parent-dirty on versioned-child change
SQLAlchemy doesn't mark a parent as dirty when only its children
(``TableColumn`` / ``SqlMetric`` on ``SqlaTable``) are modified.
Continuum's UnitOfWork only creates operations for entities in
``session.dirty``, so a column-only edit produces shadow rows in
``table_columns_version`` but no parent shadow row in
``tables_version``. ``VersionDAO.list_versions`` queries the parent
shadow, so the version dropdown is empty for child-only saves —
exactly the failure mode reported when "I edited a column description
but no version appeared."

Extends ``register_baseline_listener`` with a new before-flush hook
``_force_parent_dirty_on_child_change`` that walks the existing
``_child_to_parent_registry`` and ``attributes.flag_modified(parent,
<first non-excluded versioned column>)`` whenever a versioned child
is dirty / new / deleted but the parent's own scalars haven't been
touched. The flag puts the parent in ``session.dirty`` so Continuum's
UoW creates a parent UPDATE operation; the resulting shadow row's
scalar columns mirror the previous version (only the children
actually changed), and the row exists to anchor the transaction in
the parent's version chain.

``SkipUnmodifiedPlugin._is_no_op_update`` is updated in this commit's
predecessor to recognize the "scalars match but children dirty" case
via ``_has_dirty_versioned_children`` so the forced parent UPDATE
isn't skipped.

Integration coverage: ``test_dataset_column_edit_creates_parent_version``.
