BE-PR-002: Proposal model naming & field adjustments

- Add comprehensive docstring to Proposal model documenting all relationships
- Add column comments for all fields (title, description, status, project_id, etc.)
- Mark feat_task_id as DEPRECATED (will be replaced by Essential->task mapping in BE-PR-008)
- Add proposal_code hybrid property as preferred alias for DB column propose_code
- Update ProposalResponse schema to include proposal_code alongside propose_code
- Update serializer to emit both proposal_code and propose_code for backward compat
- No DB migration needed -- only Python-level changes
