[Expert Finder] Email generation (service, hooks and transformers)

[nicktytarenko]

What?

• Implement email generation and management features in the expert finder service, including hooks for generating, and managing emails and templates.
• Add new types and API methods for handling email drafts and generated emails.

---

Note

Medium Risk
Adds multiple new API integrations and client-side state hooks for creating/updating/deleting email-related records; main risk is contract mismatch with backend response shapes/status codes (notably preview vs saved generate-email and 204 deletes).

Overview
Adds end-to-end support for Expert Finder outreach emails: generating emails (preview vs saved draft), and CRUD/paginated listing for generated emails and saved templates via ExpertFinderService and new hooks in useExpertFinder.

Introduces new GeneratedEmail/SavedTemplate app types with snake_case→camelCase transformers, plus a new ApiClient.deleteNoContent helper to correctly handle 204 DELETE responses used by the new delete endpoints.

Missing trailing slash in generate-email endpoint URL

High Severity

The generate-email endpoint URL is constructed as `${this.BASE_PATH}/generate-email${query}` which omits the trailing slash. Every other endpoint in this service uses a trailing slash (e.g. /search/, /emails/, /templates/), and the docstring itself specifies POST /api/research_ai/expert-finder/generate-email/. On a Django backend with APPEND_SLASH=True, a POST without a trailing slash triggers a 301 redirect that converts the request to a GET, losing the payload entirely. This would cause all email generation calls to fail.
