Activate an automation

POSThttps://api.norreach.app/v1/automations/{id}/activate

Turns a draft or paused automation on, as the builder's Activate does: compiles the flow (422 with the reason if it can't), runs the launch check (409 no_sender when a channel it sends on has no connected sender, or an AI-call step has no AI caller), goes live, lets contacts it held carry on, and enrolls a picked audience. A stopped automation can't be turned back on. dry_run=true compiles and checks, and changes nothing.
