bugfix: gate manga PATCH and cover endpoints on uploader (0.34.1)

PATCH /mangas/:id, PUT /mangas/:id/cover and DELETE /mangas/:id/cover
took the current user but never compared it against the row's
uploaded_by. Any signed-in user could overwrite or clear any manga's
metadata and cover. Add require_can_edit gate: non-NULL uploaded_by
must match the caller; legacy NULL rows stay open until an admin role
lands (per migration 0011 historical-data note).
