Add services/legal_act_ingester.py — the EU eur-lex LegalActIngester engine:
CELLAR download (with eur-lex fallback, bypassing the HTTP 202 web block on
large acts like DORA), parse into articles + annexes with full authority
metadata + forward citation edges (references_out), and a self-test gate before
upload. Refactor scripts/ingest_eu_regulations.py to use it: parse-based,
per-unit upload with a skip-by-CELEX guard (no automatic re-ingest). Recitals
are intentionally left to a separate ingester (Parser 2).

Tested: parser / metadata / self-test / refs_out over a synthetic eur-lex
fixture (7 tests), ruff + mypy clean, real CELLAR fetch of DORA verified
end-to-end (64 articles, full authority metadata).

"""Production LegalActIngester for EU eur-lex acts (Parser 1 of the corpus stack).
Downloads the German XHTML of an EU act (CELLAR machine endpoint, with the
eur-lex web UI as fallback), parses it into ARTICLES + ANNEXES with full
authority metadata and forward citation edges (references_out), and self-tests
the parse before any upload. The eur-lex / CELLAR XHTML uses uniform CSS classes
(oj-ti-art / oj-sti-art / oj-normal / oj-ti-grseq-1 / oj-doc-ti) across every
act, so one parser covers DSGVO / CRA / AI Act / DORA / NIS2 / MaschinenVO / ...
Recitals are intentionally NOT handled here — they are a separate, lower-weight
source (RecitalIngester, Parser 2). Scope of this module: binding articles + the
annexes that carry the actual obligations.
