refactor: remove scripted file intercept — LLM owns all responses

Previously ab_ai_mail.py intercepted file uploads before reaching the
LLM and responded with a hardcoded clarification template. The LLM had
no involvement in the file upload response.

Changes:
- ab_ai_mail.py: remove _post_file_clarification, _find_pending_attachments,
  _describe_zip, and the two-step pending-attachment lookup. All messages
  (text, files, or both) are dispatched to the agent service immediately.
  Files with no text pass an empty message — the LLM decides what to do.
- upload.py: default message changed from hardcoded receipt instruction
  to '' so the LLM determines intent from file content.
- master_agent._synthesize: always runs through the LLM for both single
  and multi-agent cases — no raw templates reach the user.
- master_system.txt: add FILE UPLOADS routing rule so the LLM knows to
  route receipts to expenses_agent without asking for clarification.

New flow: upload → parse → LLM classifies → agent acts → LLM synthesizes
natural response → user sees it. Zero scripted intercepts.
