Run db:migrate automatically before every Railway deploy

The 2026-07-06 prod outage was a missed manual migration: the 0002
job_events migration never ran against prod, so the worker crash-looped
on every job. Make the deploy pipeline own it:

- railway.json sets `npm run db:migrate` as the pre-deploy command.
  Railway runs it with the service's env before starting the new
  deployment; a failed migration fails the deploy and the old version
  keeps serving.
- runMigrations() now serializes on a Postgres advisory lock so api and
  worker pre-deploys firing off the same push can't race Drizzle's
  journal writes.
- DEPLOY.md: document the automatic path; keep the manual command for
  first-time setup.
