fix(doctor): register onboard check names in doctor-categories to stop unknown-check warnings

doctor.ts pushes runAllOnboardChecks results into the checks list, but the
7 onboard check names (embed_staleness, entity_link_coverage,
timeline_coverage, takes_count, dangling_aliases, pack_upgrade_available,
type_proliferation) were never added to doctor-categories.ts, so every
doctor run emitted an 'unknown check name' stderr warn per onboard check.

Registers the 5 data-quality names under BRAIN and the 2 schema-pack names
under META (alphabetical order preserved), and widens the drift-guard test
to scan src/core/onboard/checks.ts alongside src/commands/doctor.ts so
future onboard checks can't drift uncategorized.

Takeover of #1839, rebased onto master (keeps master's timeline_dedup_index).
