feat: return flows/sources verbatim and gate response conformance

- GET /flows, GET /flows/{id}, GET /sources: return stored documents verbatim
  (minus _id/_rev) instead of through a narrow response schema, so responses
  preserve every spec field and validate against flow.json / source.json. A flat
  response schema was silently dropping format-specific fields (e.g. audio
  essence_parameters), causing schema-conformance failures. Adds a stripDbFields
  helper.
- interop:conformance: scope the Schemathesis run to response conformance
  (schema, status code, content type) over schema-valid requests, and make the
  CI conformance job a hard gate by removing continue-on-error.
