Create a study guide for a course

POST 
/courses/:course_id/study-guides

Creates a new study guide. Any authenticated user can create a guide for any course. The creator_id is taken from the JWT; any value supplied in the request body is ignored.

Tags are normalized server-side: each value is trimmed + lowercased + deduplicated (case-insensitively). Empty tags after trim are rejected with 400. Validation order on tags: per-tag length cap first (50 chars), total count cap second (20 tags), then normalize.

Returns the full StudyGuideDetail shape on 201 -- empty recommended_by/quizzes/resources/files arrays, vote_score=0, view_count=0, user_vote=null, is_recommended=false. The frontend can render the freshly-created guide without a follow-up GET.
