peter d1b6a19eb3 Fix concurrent posts racing past quota (issue #010)
make_room_for() read usage before any write lock was held, so concurrent
requests could each read stale data and both conclude "this fits" -
confirmed reproducible (measured 616 bytes over a 1551-byte quota with 5
truly concurrent posts).

Fix: force SQLite to acquire its write lock immediately via a no-op UPDATE
on the user's UserProfile row, before reading `used`, wrapped in
transaction.atomic() through the subsequent Artifact.objects.create() so
the lock is held across the whole eviction+insert sequence. Added a 20s
DB timeout as headroom for legitimate contention.

Deliberately no retry/backoff logic - this project's actual load (a
low-volume self-hosted tool) doesn't need it, and SQLite has no row-level
locking regardless, so quota-affecting writes serialize globally either
way. Did fix a real bug found while verifying this: exception handling
around artifact creation only caught QuotaExceeded, so a genuine lock
timeout left the just-written file orphaned on disk - both call sites now
clean up on any exception.

Verified live against the real dev instance (twice, with 5 truly
simultaneous posts against a tight quota) rather than via an automated
test - Django's in-memory shared-cache test database uses a different,
non-retryable SQLite locking model that fails for reasons unrelated to
this fix's correctness.
