fix: atomic upsert for import runs (Issue #12)

Replace check-then-insert race condition with INSERT ON CONFLICT.
- upsert_pending uses RETURNING id for atomic upsert
- UNIQUE(source_id, content_hash) constraint from migration 6
- blocklist_import_workflow updated to use upsert_pending
- test_import_source_success fixed for async mock patterns
