Remove the transfer flag

A transfer was a second verdict carried alongside the tag: a boolean set by
transfer = true in a rule or by x in the TUI, kept in its own pair of rule_
and manual_ columns, whose one real effect was to hold the row out of the
report. The rest of it was display -- a T column in the transaction list, in
the rules screen and in money ls.

Money moved between your own accounts is now tagged like anything else and
counts like anything else. The leg leaving checking is an outflow and the leg
arriving in savings is an inflow, so a report over the whole data root roughly
nets out while one scoped to a single account or month does not. That is the
price of one verdict per transaction instead of two.

A rule now needs a tag, and one that set only transfer = true is refused by
number on load. A leftover transfer key beside a tag is ignored, as unknown
TOML keys always were, and an index built by an older binary drops both
columns when it is opened.
