Add support for pokemon evolutions in the tracker. When a pokemon evolves during a Nuzlocke run, the tracker should reflect the new species while preserving the encounter history (original catch route, catch level, nickname, etc.).

Implementation

• Data model: Evolution table with from/to pokemon, trigger, level, item, and condition fields. Encounter.current_pokemon_id tracks evolved species separately from original.
• Seed data: Evolution chains fetched from PokeAPI submodule data, with an overrides file for manual corrections.
• API: GET /pokemon/{id}/evolutions returns available evolutions. PATCH /encounters/{id} accepts current_pokemon_id to record an evolution.
• Frontend: "Evolve" button in StatusChangeModal shows available evolutions with trigger details. PokemonCard displays the current (evolved) species with "Originally: {name}" label.
