fix: make bookmark add idempotent instead of 409

Re-adding an already-bookmarked manga returned 409, which the UI surfaced as
a false "Could not add bookmark" toast — collections are idempotent, bookmarks
weren't. On a unique violation, fetch and return the existing bookmark, and
answer 200 (vs 201 for a fresh insert). The frontend toggle already treats a
successful POST as done, so the false toast disappears with no client change.
