Add bead separator support to Rosary Builder

- Bead Markers section in library panel with Small, Large, Crucifix cards
- Bead steps render as amber-tinted cards in the sequence (no attribution)
- migrate_v5.php: adds step_type/bead_type columns, makes prayer_id nullable
- Bead steps produce slides with proper bead+bead_index so the ring advances
  during presentation — allows participants to follow along on physical beads
- Prayer steps between beads still show bead_index=null (ring stays on last bead)
