Dates: true_instant on metadata responses for instant matching

The mobile viewer anchored its "messages around this photo" window on
the legacy date_taken (a wall clock stored as UTC for EXIF rows), while
SMS-API dates are true instants: the window was off by the photo's UTC
offset (4-5 h for photos taken at home; ImageApi #113 user story 3).
Verified SMS-API side: importers store backup epochs as UTC, and 40/40
sampled rows equal their source epochs exactly.

`/image/metadata` (+ GPS / date mutation responses) now carries
`true_instant` from `date_view::file_true_instant`: `row_true_instant`,
else the filename-class instant, else the earliest fs time. Server-side
for the same reason as `wall_clock`: the drain's permanent floor rows
have no `date_utc`. `set_capture_dates` fills both fields at all four
response sites.

dev/e2e: the manifest records each fixture's expected instant (the wall
read in its GPS zone, else America/New_York) and `e2e.sh check` asserts
it (97/97).
