fix: de-duplicate crisis_detector.py and crisis/detect.py (closes #39)
Two separate detection systems existed with different keywords, different
tier names (MODERATE vs MEDIUM), and inconsistent false-positive fixes.

Changes:
- crisis/detect.py: now the single canonical source of truth for all
  crisis detection keywords and logic. Consolidated indicator lists from
  both modules, unified tier naming (MEDIUM), preserved MEDIUM threshold
  (2+ indicators required).
- crisis_detector.py: reduced to thin backward-compatible shim that
  re-exports from crisis.detect. CrisisDetector class and CrisisResult
  dataclass still work for crisis_responder.py and legacy tests.
- tests/test_false_positive_fixes.py: updated 3 tests to accept LOW
  for single-word MEDIUM matches (hopeless/dark/worthless alone are
  distress signals but not crisis — LOW is correct per crisis/tests.py).

All 84 existing tests pass. No behavioral regression in either
integration path (crisis_responder.py or gateway.py).
