Phase 3a: close the Django API gaps for the MCP server

Backend prerequisites for the FastMCP service (mcp.md §6) — no model
changes, no migration.

- log_cook: accepts `rating`, validates via full_clean (enforces the
  exactly-one-recipe rule), and returns `used_ingredients` as a
  suggestion set instead of mutating the pantry. Auto-deduct path and
  _deduct_ingredient removed — pantry state changes only via set-state
  after the user confirms.
- New POST /api/pantry/set-state/ — set in/low/out by ingredient name
  (alias-aware), optional location; registered before the router so the
  pantry detail route doesn't capture "set-state" as a pk.
- what_can_i_cook: presence-based (exclude 'out', tolerate null
  quantity) so the API matcher agrees with the web one.
- bulk-pantry-add: restocks an existing ingredient+location row to 'in'
  instead of duplicating; quantity is an optional int.

Tests cover all four + that pantry `state` is serialized (24 pass).
