Bulk create projects

POST/api/v1/projects/bulk

Create up to 100 projects in one request with per-row customer resolution. Rows may pass customer_name instead of customer_id — an exact case-insensitive match auto-resolves; ambiguous or unmatched names fail only that row (CUSTOMER_AMBIGUOUS / CUSTOMER_NOT_FOUND with candidate customers) unless create_missing_customers is true, in which case unmatched customers are created inline.
