Huang Xin 01a54238ae fix(annotator): clean up empty highlight on annotation cancel (#4791) (#4804)
Clicking "Annotate" on a selection eagerly creates a highlight (with an
empty note) as the anchor for the note being typed, so the selection stays
visible while the NoteEditor is open. Cancelling the note instead of saving
left that empty highlight behind: it leaked into the config DB, showed as a
stale card in the Booknotes list, and left a phantom yellow highlight.

handleHighlight now returns the created BookNote only when it pushes a new
record (null when it restyles an existing highlight, which predates the flow
and must survive a cancel). handleAnnotate tracks that id via the new
notebookNewHighlightId store field; cleanup is keyed on the id, not the cfi,
so a fresh selection that collides with an existing highlight's cfi can't
wrongly delete it.

removeEmptyAnnotationPlaceholder tombstones the tracked placeholder only when
it still has no note text, and the Notebook tears its overlay down. Cleanup is
presentation-driven: an effect removes the placeholder whenever the creation
editor stops being shown (Cancel, Escape, overlay, close, swipe, navigate),
plus a second effect for book-switch and reader-close. Save survives the guard
and clears the tracked id.
