Playerbot: auto-learn riding skill + mount; owner-mount party sync

- Riding (skill 762) granted automatically at modern thresholds (L10
  Journeyman 150, L20 Expert 225, L30 Master 375). One tier-appropriate
  mount spell learned per tier, data-driven from the Mount DB2.
- Runs on bot login, level-up and alt finalize.
- Owner-mount sync: Unit::Mount/Unit::Dismount hooks push
  MountIntent/DismountIntent to owned bots so the party travels together.
- Add Unit.cpp mount/dismount hunks to the core-hooks patch.
