Apply same RiC-O-style slot naming refactor to /schemas/20251121/linkml/
that was previously applied to frontend/public/schemas/:
- Add 'has_' prefix for possession predicates
- Add 'is_or_was_' prefix for temporal inverse relationships
- Add 'has_or_had_' for bidirectional temporal relations
- Add new slots: is_or_was_aggregated_by, is_or_was_allocated_by, etc.
- Update count slots with proper descriptions
This ensures consistency between the source schema directory and the
frontend-served schemas.
