Add slug-based dedup and auto-create third parties from OCD

Add a slug column to common_third_parties for stable cross-source
deduplication. The OCD tracker patterns importer now resolves third
parties via a three-step cascade (slug lookup, domain fallback,
auto-create) instead of silently dropping unmatched links.
