feat: brain/index.go shebang; mail import is not a brain write (D14).

Commands live at bin/brain/{index,get,stats,eval,watch}.go and
bin/mail/import.go, bin/markdown/import.go, bin/postgres/query.go.
Python remains the Ladybug write worker. index_mail is a deprecation
shim that rebuilds via --with-mail.
