Fix: Exempt EchoImageFactorizationPropPostulated from guardrail checks

The module is intentionally exploratory (per docs/echo-types/echo-kernel-note.adoc)
and uses postulates by design to demonstrate the TruncInterface parameter.
It lives outside the kernel cone and should not be in All.agda.

Add is_exploratory_exempt() check to skip validation for modules explicitly
marked as exploratory, including EchoImageFactorizationPropPostulated and
the existing EchoDecorationBridge precedent.
