perf: precompute mangas.sort_author for the author sort

?sort=author used a correlated min(lower(a.name)) subquery as the ORDER BY
key, evaluated per filter-matching row before LIMIT. Materialize it into
mangas.sort_author (indexed by mangas_sort_author_idx), maintained by triggers
on manga_authors and backfilled in the migration, so the sort is a plain
indexed column read. Author names are immutable, so only join changes matter.
