feat: opt-in Nominatim geocoding observer + sync UUID migrations

Adds an AddressObserver that resolves latitude/longitude from the
postal fields after every save, serializing calls cluster-wide through
a Cache::lock and respecting Nominatim's 1-req/sec usage policy.

How the rate limit holds across workers
---------------------------------------
* Cache::lock('addresses:geocoding:lock') ensures only ONE process
  ever talks upstream at a time (any LockProvider-capable store works:
  redis / memcached / database / file / array).
* Inside the lock the driver reads a shared :last_call_at timestamp
  and usleep()s the difference to the configured min_interval before
  hitting the API, then stamps the new value right after the response
  comes back — pacing the next caller from when we *actually stopped*
  talking upstream, not from when the lock was first taken.
* Lock TTL (15s default) bounds crash-recovery time so a kill -9
  can't pin the lock open forever.

Observer behaviour
------------------
* Hooks 'created' (always geocodes on insert) and 'updated' (only when
  a *postal* field actually changed — wasChanged() on street, city,
  postal_code, country_code, …). Lat/lon edits don't loop because
  the write-back uses saveQuietly().
* Errors (LockTimeoutException, network, 5xx) are logged and
  swallowed — the user's save() / create() call is never made fatal
  by a transient upstream issue.
* Honours an update_only_when_missing toggle so apps can preserve
  manually-entered coordinates.

Backward compatibility
----------------------
* Default 'enabled' is FALSE — upgrading the package does NOT start
  making outbound HTTP calls on existing apps. Apps that want the
  feature opt in via ADDRESSES_GEOCODING_ENABLED=true and a
  descriptive ADDRESSES_GEOCODING_USER_AGENT (OSMF blocks generic UAs).
* The Geocoder contract is bound through the container so apps can
  rebind to Google Maps / Mapbox / a self-hosted Nominatim without
  touching the observer.

Pre-existing fix shipped alongside
----------------------------------
The Address* models switched to HasUuids in 73c14c5, but neither the
published migration stub nor the workbench fixture migration were
updated — every test in the suite was failing with 'datatype mismatch'
on the auto-increment integer PK. Both migrations now use uuid('id')
+ foreignUuid() so the model trait and the schema agree.

For consumers who already published the stub: no change. Your
existing migration file is untouched. Only fresh `vendor:publish
--tag=addresses-migrations` runs pick up the UUID shape.

Tests

221 / 221 (100%)  Time: ~2.8s

The 14 new tests cover URL/param construction, User-Agent, empty- and
unparseable-result handling, the rate-limit timing assertion (proves
two back-to-back calls take >= min_interval), cache-lock
serialization, observer pre-fill on create, no-loop on lat/lon
update, re-geocode on postal change, the update_only_when_missing
policy, the enabled master switch, and graceful swallowing of both
LockTimeoutException and generic upstream errors.

+# Auto-Geocoding
+
+After every `Address` save, an observer asks a geocoding service for
+`latitude` / `longitude` based on the postal fields, then writes the
+result back onto the row.
+
+The default driver is **Nominatim (OpenStreetMap)** — free, no API key
+required, but [policy-capped](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/)
+at **1 request per second** on the public instance. The package
+enforces that cap with a Laravel `Cache::lock`, so even multiple PHP-FPM
+workers / queue runners sharing the same address book never overshoot.
+
+> **Opt-in.** The observer is wired up but the master switch defaults to
+> `false`, so upgrading the package doesn't change behaviour for an
+> existing app. Set `ADDRESSES_GEOCODING_ENABLED=true` (and a
+> descriptive `ADDRESSES_GEOCODING_USER_AGENT`) to turn it on.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+```
+Address::create([...])
+        │
+        ├─► INSERT row
+        │
+        ├─► AddressObserver::created
+        │       │
+        │       ├─► Cache::lock acquired (cluster-wide)
+        │       ├─► sleep until min_interval since last call
+        │       ├─► HTTP GET nominatim/search?…
+        │       ├─► stamp "last call at" → cache
+        │       └─► lock released

+        ├─► $address->saveQuietly()  (lat / lon → DB, no recursion)
+        │
+        └─► return $address
+```
+
+Updates work the same way, but the observer only fires the geocoder
+when a **postal** field actually changed (street, postal_code, city,
+state, county, country_code, building, street_extra). Plain
+latitude/longitude edits — including the observer's own write-back —
+don't loop, and unrelated columns (notes, meta, has_elevator, …) are
+ignored.

+
+## Plug in a different provider
+
+The observer talks to the `Geocoder` contract, not to any concrete
+driver. Bind your own implementation in a service provider:
+
+```php
+use Blax\Addresses\Services\Geocoding\Contracts\Geocoder;
+use App\Services\MyMapboxGeocoder;
+
+public function register(): void
+{
+    $this->app->singleton(Geocoder::class, MyMapboxGeocoder::class);
+}
+```
+
+The contract is:
+
+```php
+interface Geocoder
+{
+    public function geocode(Address $address): ?GeocodingResult;
+}
+```
+
+`GeocodingResult` is a small DTO with `latitude`, `longitude`,
+`displayName`, and the raw provider payload.
+
+Your driver is responsible for its own concurrency / rate-limit policy
+— Google Maps and Mapbox have quota systems server-side, so a custom
+driver usually doesn't need a `Cache::lock` at all.
+
+## Failure modes
+
+The observer is forgiving by design — geocoding is best-effort:
+
+| Failure                       | Behaviour                                                                                          |
+|-------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `Cache::lock` wait times out  | Logged (`info`), the address keeps its current coords. Re-save (or backfill) to retry.             |
+| Network / 5xx from upstream   | Logged (`warning`), the address keeps its current coords.                                          |
+| Upstream returns no match     | Silent — no logs, no DB writes.                                                                    |
+| Upstream returns garbage      | Silent — invalid lat/lon (`NaN`, missing, non-numeric) are treated as "no match".                  |
+
+In every case the user's `save()` / `create()` call returns
+successfully — geocoding never blows up the consuming code path.
+
+## Testing
+
+Drop `Http::fake()` into your test setup; the geocoder uses Laravel's
+HTTP client so it picks up the fakes automatically. To turn the
+observer off entirely:
+
+```php
