docs: ADR-0035 4a — refine scope (CHECK/DEFAULT to constraint slice; double-precision; serial-inline)

Three design questions settled during 4a implementation (plan + ADR §13
+ README in lockstep):
- CHECK/DEFAULT defer to the 4a.2 constraint slice: sql_expr is
  validate-only (no Expr AST), so they need raw-SQL-text storage on a
  separate path, not do_create_table's Expr->compile reuse. 4a.2 now
  also covers composite UNIQUE / multi-column table CHECK.
- double precision (the lone two-word alias) handled via a keyword-pair
  branch; single-word aliases + discarded (len) cover the rest.
- serial sole-PK in a multi-column table must inline PRIMARY KEY to keep
  autoincrement (worker-step do_create_table extension).
4a core narrows to columns + types + NOT NULL/UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY +
IF NOT EXISTS; everything else errors "not yet supported".

+4. **`serial` PK inline emission (implementer call, step 3/worker).**
+   `do_create_table` today inlines `PRIMARY KEY` (the rowid-alias that
+   makes `serial` autoincrement) **only when the table has one column**.
+   SQL mode allows `CREATE TABLE t (id serial primary key, name text)` —
+   a `serial` sole-PK in a multi-column table — which would otherwise
+   get a table-level PK and **lose autoincrement**. Step 3 extends the
+   inline condition to "sole-PK column whose type is `serial` → inline
+   `PRIMARY KEY` on that column," leaving the simple-mode paths
+   (single-column, or compound) unchanged. Covered by a worker test.
+
+5. **Redundant PK constraints (implementer call).** SQL mode is
+   **lenient** like real engines: `id int primary key not null` /
+   `… unique` is accepted, and the builder silently de-dups the
+   redundant `not_null`/`unique` flag off a sole-PK column (so the
+   emitted DDL/metadata stay clean for `do_create_table`). Simple
+   mode's ADR-0029 §9 *rejection* is unchanged. (Diverges from simple
+   mode deliberately, matching the advanced-mode "trust the user like
+   SQL" posture, ADR-0035 §7.)
