Stop target credentials leaking into event databases (closes #206)

A Delivery carries its Event and Target structs in memory for the
delivery engine, so GORM's automatic association save upserted the
whole target row -- config included, which holds destination URLs
and bearer credentials -- into the per-webhook event database with
an empty webhook_id. Event databases are the files most likely to be
backed up or handed to someone else, so they shipped the credentials
with them.

Register a create and update callback on every per-webhook
connection that omits associations, rather than fixing the one call
site: it covers writes inside a transaction and write paths added
later. Sweep any rows already written, before the migration on each
open, so it is idempotent and a no-op on a database with no targets
table.

Encryption of target config at rest in webhooker.db is deliberately
not part of this: it is tracked separately.
