feat: replace pruning UI with bloom months

- Add bloom_months to Plant and Species models (migration 0003)
- Swap pruning_months form field for bloom_months throughout
- Plant detail shows green bloom strip instead of pruning strip
- Dashboard shows 'Blooming now' count and list instead of overdue pruning
- Remove ✂️ pruning calendar from nav (feature hidden, backend intact)
- Update dashboard tests to reflect new context
