feat(banners): instance announcements — admin CRUD, top bar, CLI (#39)

banners table (title/body/level/active/dismissible/schedule window).
GET /banners/active for signed-in users; admin CRUD under /admin/banners.
BannerBar renders above the header with per-banner dismissal
(localStorage); admin console gains an Announcements section;
`containr banners` manages them and `auth status` prints active ones.
