fix(places): submit and link the phase variants
/schools/[place]/[phase] shipped as routes but reached nothing. The sitemap
emitted one URL per registry entry and the registry had no phase dimension, so
~950 pages were absent from every sitemap — and PlaceView did not link them
either, leaving them reachable by nothing at all.

That is the query shape the baseline actually showed: 'primary schools in
beccles', 'secondary schools in brentwood'. Publishing the routes without a
path in meant building for the demand and then hiding from it.

Place now carries phase_urns so the per-phase threshold can be applied without
re-querying, the sitemap emits a variant wherever a phase clears the threshold
on its own, and the API exposes the qualifying phases so the place page links
only variants that exist. Outcodes are excluded: nobody searches 'primary
schools in SW11' and those routes do not exist.
