ask_operator: operator-side ✗ CANC3L on pending questions

new POST /cancel-question/{id} resolves a pending operator question
with the sentinel answer '[cancelled]' and fires the usual
HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered so the manager sees a terminal state
and can fall back. uses the same OperatorQuestions::answer path —
no special handling, the manager already has to deal with arbitrary
answer strings.

dashboard renders the cancel as a separate <form> below the main
qform so the answer-merge submit handler on the main form doesn't
inadvertently fire when the operator clicks cancel. confirm dialog
spells out what the manager will see.

ttl-based auto-cancel is still on the todo (would spawn a tokio task
per submitted question).

## Manager → operator question channel
- **TTL / cancel on `ask_operator`.** Questions today block forever; the
manager turn stays alive until the operator answers. Add a per-question
`ttl_seconds` (or a dashboard "cancel" button that resolves the question
with a sentinel answer) so a long-idle question can time out and let the
manager fall back. Wire the timeout into `OperatorQuestions::wait_answered`
and surface remaining-time on the dashboard.
- **TTL on `ask_operator`.** Manual cancel via dashboard already
ships (✗ CANC3L button resolves the question with answer
`[cancelled]` and fires `OperatorAnswered` so the manager sees a
terminal state). Still missing: per-question `ttl_seconds` that
auto-cancels after a deadline. Spawn a tokio task per submitted
question that calls the same cancel path after the ttl expires
(cheap; rare). Surface remaining time on the dashboard.
