Recommend a study guide

POST 
/study-guides/:study_guide_id/recommendations

Records that the authenticated user (an instructor or TA in the guide's course) recommends the guide. Recommendations contribute to the is_recommended badge and the recommended_by list on the guide detail.

Authorization: viewer must hold the instructor or ta role in AT LEAST ONE section of the guide's course. Holding a non-elevated role (student) in some sections does NOT block the action -- the rule is "any elevated role somewhere in the course suffices".

Returns 409 on duplicate (same viewer recommended this guide before) -- recommendations are not idempotent because the creation timestamp matters and re-recommending would silently bump it.
