fix(vim): follow-link creates missing pages + safe LSP foldexpr

Two user-visible bugs:

1. `<CR>` on a wikilink whose target wasn't indexed yet (typical for
   "follow this link → page doesn't exist → I want a fresh buffer for
   it") did nothing. Cause: `Backend::resolve_target_uri` returned
   `None` once `WorkspaceIndex::resolve` came up empty, so
   `goto_definition` had no Location to hand back to the client and
   `vim.lsp.buf.definition()` / `:LspDefinition` silently no-op'd.

   Vimwiki's behaviour is "open a fresh buffer for the future page".
   `Backend::resolve_target_uri` now synthesises a
   `<wiki_root>/<path><file_extension>` URI when the lookup misses,
   for both `LinkKind::Wiki` and the `LinkKind::Interwiki` fallback.
   The editor opens an empty buffer; saving writes the file. New
   helper `synthesise_page_uri` does the path walk so subdirectory
   wikilinks like `[[notes/Daily]]` get the right output path.

2. Folding occasionally surfaced an `E5108` from inside
   `vim.lsp.foldexpr()` — happens when the function fires before the
   LSP client has finished attaching to the buffer, or when the
   server's `foldingRange` response hasn't yet arrived. The error
   gets shouted once per visible line.

   `lua/nuwiki/folding.lua` now exports `lsp_expr` which `pcall`s
   `vim.lsp.foldexpr` and falls back to the regex implementation
   (`M.expr`) on error or when the LSP function isn't available.
   `ftplugin.lua` points `foldexpr` at the wrapper instead of
   `vim.lsp.foldexpr` directly. `foldtext` is set in both branches
   now so collapsed folds keep the nicer summary line.

Tests: 4 new in `phase19_followlink_creates.rs` covering indexed
resolution, missing-page fallback, the canonical
`<root>/<page>.wiki` shape, and the slash-bearing subdirectory link.
Total 381 tests pass; fmt + clippy clean.
