feat(backup-monitor): fix MailPace body field and add explicit headers

MailPace API requires 'textbody' (not 'text_body') and explicit
Accept/Content-Type headers to avoid 406. End-to-end smoke test passed:
reporter workflow queued email successfully (MailPace id: 35621228).

## Task 13: End-to-end smoke test
## Task 13: End-to-end smoke test — COMPLETE (2026-05-07)
- [ ] **Trigger the desktop backup manually** and watch for webhook activity:
```bash
source ~/.credentials && bash ~/.local/bin/backup.sh
```
Expected: backup runs as normal, no new errors in output
- [x] **Triggered desktop backup** — Synology succeeded (snapshot f5f25c53), B2 had stale lock from 2026-04-13 (PID 43407) causing `restic forget` to fail (exit 11). Both runs notified; rows recorded in datatable.
- [x] **Datatable confirmed** — 3 rows visible in n8n UI after backup run.
- [x] **Reporter triggered manually** — MailPace queued (id: 35621228, status: queued). Email sent to jaredmswanson@gmail.com.
- [x] **Key bug fixed:** MailPace body field must be `textbody` (not `text_body`). Required explicit `Accept: application/json` and `Content-Type: application/json` headers in n8n HTTP Request node.
- [ ] **Check the n8n `backup_runs` datatable** — two new rows should appear: one for `desktop/synology` (success or skipped) and one for `desktop/backblaze-b2` (success)
- [ ] **Trigger the weekly reporter manually** in n8n (open Workflow 2 → Execute Workflow). With at least some runs in the table, you should receive an email at jaredmswanson@gmail.com.
- [ ] **Verify the email format:**
- If all sources have at least one success: subject line starts with `✓`
- If any source has no success: subject starts with `⚠` or `✗` with detail in the body
- [ ] **Remove any test rows** from `backup_runs` (rows with `destination=test` from Task 10)
- [ ] Final commit:
```bash
cd /home/jared/systems-admin
git add -A
git commit -m "docs(backup-monitor): implementation complete — smoke test passed"
```
**Remaining known issues (not blocking):**
- Stale restic locks on Synology SFTP and B2 repos (from 2026-04-13) — `restic unlock` returns 0 but lock persists; `restic forget` fails, causing all runs to report `status: failure` even when snapshots save successfully. Run `restic -r <repo> unlock` manually or investigate lock file directly.
- MailPace credential header: working config uses `MailPace-Server-Token` (not `X-Server-Token` as noted in Self-Review). Credential named `mailpace-token` in n8n (ID: `tC1vdhAHGVwAZxcg`).
