--- Add NIP-ER event-reminder columns and due-delivery index to the events table.

--- `not_before` is the reminder's scheduled delivery time (Unix seconds);
--- `delivered_at` records when the scheduler published it. Both are nullable —
--- non-reminder events leave them NULL. The partial index covers only
--- undelivered, live reminders so the scheduler's due-query stays cheap.

--- `events` is partitioned by RANGE (created_at); ALTER TABLE on the parent
