Update match status

Update the investigation status of a consortium match. Terminal statuses (`confirmed_fraud`, `false_positive`, `resolved`) trigger a `consortium.investigation_updated` webhook to both organizations involved. The peer's payload is gated by the acting organization's sharing policy. Setting status to `confirmed_fraud` automatically triggers fraud ring detection via BFS traversal of connected sessions.
