fix(proofs/idris2): redesign RMO secureDeleteIrreversible + gdprDeletionCompliant to theorem-shape-correct (#60 + #61)

Both prior signatures were non-theorems:

* secureDeleteIrreversible: `recovery fs = fs -> Void` is refuted by
  `recovery = id` (id always satisfies the premise, but cannot derive
  Void).
* gdprDeletionCompliant: `recovery = id` is refuted by, e.g., `recovery
  = const empty` (recovery is an arbitrary parameter; nothing forces it
  to be id).

Replace with structurally-correct theorems mirroring the Coq
formalisations:

* `secureDeleteNotInjective` mirrors `rmo_operations.
  obliterate_not_injective`: deletion is not injective on filesystem
  state — two filesystems that agree off-`p` collapse to the same
  post-deletion state. Closes via a new `removeEntryDeterminedByFilter`
  lemma in `Filesystem.Model` (one-line `cong MkFS`).
* `gdprDeletionCompliant` mirrors `obliterate_leaves_no_trace`'s
  structural shape: GDPR Article 17 compliance is a property of the
  deletion record (witness obliteration for the deleted path), not
  impossibility-of-recovery quantification. Closes via record
  projection.

Supporting changes in `Filesystem/Model.idr`:

* Add `keepIfNotP` named predicate so `removeEntry` and proofs about
  it refer to the same lambda (anonymous lambdas at separate call
  sites don't unify in Idris2 0.8.0).
* Add `removeEntryDeterminedByFilter` lemma (closed by `cong MkFS`).
* Drive-by: fix `DecEq Path` `decEq Root (Cons _ _) = No absurd` to
  use `No (\case Refl impossible)` (Uninhabited instance unavailable
  in 0.8.0 base).
* Drive-by: change `equivRefl (MkFS entries) = Refl` (type error —
  boolean RHS doesn't reduce to `True`) to a hole `?equivReflProof`,
  consistent with the file's existing `equivSym`/`equivTrans` holes.

These drive-bys are required for `idris2 --build valence-shell.ipkg`
to proceed past Model.idr to RMO.idr (where it now successfully
typechecks the new theorems). Pre-existing breakage at
`hardwareEraseIrreversible` (unrelated `() -> Filesystem`-style
parse issue) is out of scope for #60/#61.

Verification (local, IDRIS2_PREFIX=$(idris2-install)):

  $ idris2 --build proofs/idris2/valence-shell.ipkg
  1/4: Building Filesystem.Model ✓
  2/4: Building Filesystem.RMO   (passes new theorems, then fails on
        pre-existing hardwareEraseIrreversible — #94 territory)

Honest-admit policy: no Admitted / sorry / believe_me /
assert_total / unsafeCoerce introduced. Both new proofs close by
direct construction.

Docs updated:

* `PROOF-NEEDS.md` — #60/#61 closed, reference `?overwriteIrreversible`
  as remaining open hole at this layer.
* `docs/PROOF-NARRATIVE.adoc` — table rows for lines 92 + 169 marked
  CLOSED with cross-ref.
* `proofs/idris2/README.md` — theorem 15 + 17 entries updated;
  irreversibility section rewritten with new signature.
* `CHANGELOG.adoc` — entry added under 2026-06-01 proof work.

Closes #60.
Closes #61.
