Add markdown rendering in chat widget + opportunities for new leads

- Chat messages now render bold, italic, links, and line breaks
- Bare URLs auto-linked, XSS-safe via HTML escaping before markdown
- New leads create Opportunity with stage NEW in Twenty CRM
- Applied to both chatbot-api and email-api (contact + quote forms)
