fix(agents): prevent issue assignment to terminated agents and cleanup on termination

This commit fixes 4 production bugs found via edge case testing:

1. BUG: System allowed assigning issues to terminated agents
   - Added validation in issue creation endpoint
   - Added validation in issue update endpoint
   - Added validation in issue assign endpoint

2. BUG: Issues remained orphaned when agent was terminated
   - Agent termination now auto-unassigns all issues from that agent

These bugs could lead to issues being assigned to non-functional agents
that would never work on them, causing work to stall silently.

Tests added in tests/api/routes/syndarix/test_edge_cases.py to verify:
- Cannot assign issue to terminated agent (3 variations)
- Issues are auto-unassigned when agent is terminated
- Various other edge cases (sprints, projects, IDOR protection)

Coverage: 88% → 93% (1830 tests passing)
