refactor(schema): centralize 1515 inline slot definitions per Rule 48
- Remove inline slot definitions from 144 class files
- Create 7 new centralized slot files in modules/slots/:
  - custodian_type_broader.yaml
  - custodian_type_narrower.yaml
  - custodian_type_related.yaml
  - definition.yaml
  - finding_aid_access_restriction.yaml
  - finding_aid_description.yaml
  - finding_aid_temporal_coverage.yaml
- Add centralize_inline_slots.py automation script
- Update manifest with new timestamp

Rule 48: Class files must NOT define inline slots - all slots
must be imported from modules/slots/ directory.

Note: Pre-existing IdentifierFormat duplicate class definition
(in Standard.yaml and IdentifierFormat.yaml) not addressed in
this commit - requires separate schema refactor.
