feat(backend): enhance allocation and project management

Update controllers and services for allocation fidelity:
- AllocationController: variance data in responses, bulk operations
- ProjectController: include plan data in responses
- ProjectMonthPlanController: planning grid API
- AllocationMatrixService: support untracked allocations
- ProjectResource/TeamMemberResource: include reconciliation data

Improved test coverage for allocation flows.
