feat(pitch-deck): branded short links for magic URLs (pitch.breakpilot.ai/p/ab3xk2)

- New pitch_short_links table stores 6-char alphanumeric codes mapped to magic link tokens
- GET /p/[code] redirects to /auth/verify?token=... (302, validates expiry)
- All magic link generation points (invite, generate-link, resend) now create a short code
- Emails (invite + resend) use the short URL — less token-like, cleaner for spam filters
- Copy-link UI shows short URL prominently with full URL as fallback
- Migration 008 added to /api/admin/migrate
