correlator: stop the re-correlation sweep racing an in-flight upload (#131)

server-26#131: same call_id ends up in TWO incidents' call_ids, byte-identical
extracted data, ~2% of linked calls across 3 live dumps. Root cause: the
sweep's orphan filter (incident_id/incident_ids/corr_path all absent) can't
tell 'never processed' apart from 'real-time pipeline is still mid-flight' --
a call whose STT/scene-extraction/correlation chain (routers/upload.py
_run_intelligence_pipeline) hasn't finished yet has none of those fields set,
so the sweep picks it up and correlates it independently, sometimes onto a
different incident than the real-time path lands on.

Fix: _run_intelligence_pipeline marks intelligence_started_at on the call doc
before any slow step; the sweep holds back any call whose marker is under 5
minutes old, regardless of how orphaned it otherwise looks. No marker at all
(pre-#131 call doc, or the marker write itself failed) is not held back --
absence isn't evidence of an in-flight pipeline, and that's #131's own
pre-existing population.

recorrelation_sweep.py had zero test coverage before this. New file covers
the guard function's boundary (age < threshold vs exactly-at vs old vs
missing vs unparseable) and one integration-shaped test proving a racing call
never reaches correlate_call while a genuinely-orphaned call still does.

Sandboxed pytest: 381 -> 387.
