M6.13: Sex picker + species variant schema

Adds character Sex (male/female) as a top-level CharacterDraft field
required for every character, and species variants as a layer on top
of the base species record. Two variant axes:

  - "sex": auto-resolves from CharacterDraft.Sex for purebreds; for
           hybrids, pinned by parent role (sire = male, dam = female)
           by definition. No picker needed beyond Step 0.
  - "lineage": explicit per-species pick (Ram-Folk's sheep/goat). Has
               its own picker on Step 1 (purebred path under the grid;
               hybrid path embedded into the per-parent pick column).

Schema (Theriapolis.Core/Data):
  - SpeciesDef gains VariantAxis (string) and Variants (array of
    SpeciesVariantDef { Id, Name, Traits, Detriments }).
  - JSON content not yet populated — that's M6.14.

CharacterDraft adds:
  - Sex (required by Step 0 validation)
  - SpeciesVariant / SireSpeciesVariant / DamSpeciesVariant
  - ResolveVariantId(species, role) that returns the active variant
    id for a given context — used by Aside to layer variant traits
    onto the base species traits.

Step 0 (StepClade): sex picker row above the hybrid toggle. Two
toggle buttons radio-style.

Step 1 (StepSpecies): purebred path renders a lineage picker below
the grid when the picked species has VariantAxis == "lineage";
hybrid path embeds a lineage picker at the top of each parent's
pick column. Hover popovers summarise each variant's contents.

Validation: Sex is required at Step 0. Lineage variant required at
Step 1 for any picked species (purebred or per-hybrid-parent) with
VariantAxis == "lineage".

Aside: AddVariantContent layers the resolved variant's extra
traits/detriments onto the base species rendering, for both purebred
and hybrid paths.
