fix: Add missing API endpoints and validation improvements

- Add cancel_sprint and delete_sprint endpoints to sprints.py
- Add unassign_issue endpoint to issues.py
- Add remove_issue_from_sprint endpoint to sprints.py
- Add CRUD methods: remove_sprint_from_issues, unassign, remove_from_sprint
- Add validation to prevent closed issues in active/planned sprints
- Add authorization tests for SSE events endpoint
- Fix IDOR vulnerabilities in agents.py and projects.py
- Add Syndarix models migration (0004)
