refactor(models): lazy-load tomli_w (sub-track 2 partial)

Sub-track 2 of startup_speedup_20260606. Removes the top-level
'import tomli_w' from src/models.py and moves it inside save_config().
tomli_w (~30ms cold load) is now loaded only when the user saves
config, not on every src.models import.

This drops the audit violation count from 63 to 62.

Pydantic BaseModel (the other src/models.py violation) is left for
a future sub-track: deferring a class base requires a metaclass or
proxy pattern that's higher risk for the small (~50ms) saving.

3 new tests in tests/test_models_no_top_level_tomli_w.py:
- tomli_w NOT in sys.modules after import src.models
- save_config() still works (because tomli_w loads on-demand)
- save_config() actually triggers the import on first call

17 existing model tests pass (test_persona_models, test_bias_models,
test_context_presets_models, test_per_ticket_model, test_file_item_model).
