feat: LGBTQIA+ focus + Phase 2/3 audit fixes

LGBTQIA+ inclusion section in research briefs:
- user_profile.py: add candidate_lgbtq_focus bool accessor
- user.yaml.example: add candidate_lgbtq_focus flag (default false)
- company_research.py: gate new LGBTQIA+ section behind flag; section
  count now dynamic (7 base + 1 per opt-in section, max 9)
- 2_Settings.py: add "Research Brief Preferences" expander with
  checkboxes for both accessibility and LGBTQIA+ focus flags;
  mission_preferences now round-trips through save (no silent drop)

Phase 2 fixes:
- manage-vllm.sh: MODEL_DIR and VLLM_BIN now read from env vars
  (VLLM_MODELS_DIR, VLLM_BIN) with portable defaults
- search_profiles.yaml: replace personal CS/TAM/Bay Area profiles
  with a documented generic starter profile

Phase 3 fix:
- llm.yaml: rename alex-cover-writer:latest → llama3.2:3b with
  inline comment for users to substitute their fine-tuned model;
  fix model-exclusion comment
