Demo populate status

- ApiResponseDemoPopulateStatus
  - `data` union — Lifecycle of a demo-populate task. `Running` is set synchronously in the POST handler (before the `202`), then flipped to a terminal variant by the spawned task. `Failed` carries the error string so the UI can show why.
    - object
      - `started_at` string, date-time, required — When population began.
      - `state` 'running', required
    - object
      - `finished_at` string, date-time, required — When population finished.
      - `state` 'complete', required
    - object
      - `error` string, required — Why population failed.
      - `finished_at` string, date-time, required — When it gave up.
      - `state` 'failed', required
  - `error` string, nullable — Human-readable failure message. Omitted on success.
  - `meta` ApiMeta, required — API metadata included in all responses
    - `api_version` integer, required — API version (integer, increments on breaking changes)
    - `server_version` string, required — Server version (semver)
  - `success` boolean, required — `true` when the request succeeded. `false` responses carry `error` instead of `data`.
