Propagate correlation_id/causation_id through execution events, add API version header

Execution events (started/failed/succeeded) never carried the
correlation/causation IDs from the ExecuteRequest, even though the
fields existed on Execution. Added CausationID to ExecuteRequest and
Execution, and split emitEvent into a correlated variant used
throughout the execution lifecycle. handleExecute falls back to
X-Correlation-ID/X-Causation-ID headers when the body omits them.
Also add X-Hexis-Version negotiation on /api/v1/*, matching Nexus.

Part of Vikunja #273.
