fix(client-handover): kill PDF text superposition (URL dupe + list page-break)

Two distinct render bugs producing overlapping text on multi-page PDFs:

1. Bare-URL duplication. The print stylesheet injects `(href)` after every
   external link via `a[href^="http"]::after`. When pandoc/marked
   auto-links a bare URL or renders `[X](X)`, the visible text already
   equals the href, so the pseudo-element produces "URL (URL)" and the
   trailing duplicate wraps onto the next line, colliding with the
   following block (e.g. "https://pagespeed.web.dev/ (https://...)" then
   "• Ouvrir, taper l'URL...").
   Fix: post-process the body HTML in handover-to-pdf.sh; tag every
   `<a href="X">X</a>` (text == href, ignoring trailing slash + case)
   with `class="bare-url"`, and exclude `a.bare-url::after` from the
   URL-injection rule. Named links still get `(URL)` for print legibility.
   Belt-and-braces: add `white-space: nowrap` and `break-inside: avoid`
   on the remaining `::after` so future long URLs cannot wrap across
   page boundaries either.

2. List item splitting across page boundary. `li` had only
   `orphans/widows: 3` and no `break-inside`, so a long item could put
   its bullet on page N and its text on page N+1, overlapping unrelated
   content. Heading-to-first-block adjacency was also unprotected, so
   "heading at bottom of page A / intro paragraph or first bullet at top
   of page B" could produce visual overlap during reflow.
   Fix: add `li { page-break-inside: avoid; break-inside: avoid; }` and
   `h{1..4} + p|ul|ol { break-before: avoid; }` so list items stay
   intact and intros stay glued to their heading.

Verified end-to-end: rendered sample md with bare URL + named link +
heading-followed-by-list straddling a page break; pdftotext shows each
URL once, no orphaned bullets, no `::after` warning from weasyprint.
