Simplified Airtable validation warning logging

[joshestein]

Description

Extracts the core information from airtable-ts's error message and builds more concise error logs, including URLs.

It might be simpler to update airtable-ts itself so that structured props like tableId, fieldId become part of the validation error object, which would lead to less brittle error parsing. I'm leaving that as a follow-up task.

Changes:

• formatAirtableWarning (@bluedot/db): strips the wrapper prefixes airtable-ts prepends as the error bubbles up plus its trailing Suggestion:
• slackNotifications: batching no longer parses Airtable ids out of message text. Callers pass batchGroup: { signature, dedupeKeys } instead.
• Grouping is by table + field rather than per record, so one broken column across 54 records is one alert, not 54.
• Fixed sticky spike-option semantics: a later slackAlert in the same window that omits spikeThreshold/escalationChannelId no longer clears what an earlier call established.
