colinedwardwood b1df16b0a7 Allow API transaction create to opt into sync protection (user_modified) (#3162)
* Allow API transaction create to opt into sync protection (user_modified)

The transactions API has no way to mark a newly-created transaction
user_modified, which is the only thing that protects an entry from a
later provider sync (Plaid/SimpleFin/etc.) silently overwriting its
category or name - Account::ProviderImportAdapter#import_transaction
claims any entry matching on date/amount/currency with no external_id
yet, then enriches unlocked fields from the sync payload.

This matters for any API client that owns writes into an account also
linked to a bank-sync provider: without a way to protect its own
entries, the client's data can be silently overwritten the first time
the linked provider happens to sync a matching transaction.

Adds an optional `user_modified` param to POST /api/v1/transactions,
reusing the existing Entry#mark_user_modified! (added for #1977, so far
only wired into the merchant merge/convert/unlink flows) rather than
mass-assigning the column directly. Exposes user_modified in the
transaction JSON response, matching how external_id/source already are.

Scoped to create only, matching the concrete need; happy to extend to
update in a follow-up if that's wanted too.

* fix: mark entry user_modified before enqueueing account sync

sync_account_later enqueued the background sync job before
mark_user_modified! ran, leaving a window where a fast-running job
could read and overwrite the entry before the protection flag was
set. Move the mark_user_modified! call ahead of the sync enqueue so
the flag is always in place first.
