Create group

Creates a new group with the caller as first admin. member_handles are processed through the same add pipeline as post-creation adds — every successful add lands as a pending invite the invitee must accept (consent-gated, regardless of contact status). Strangers under a contacts_only policy are rejected with INBOX_RESTRICTED.
