refactor(org-refile): drop roam Project notes as refile targets

Stop scanning org-roam notes tagged "Project" for refile targets; keep the "Topic" scan. Behavior change by decision: roam Projects are no longer pulled in anywhere (the agenda never scanned them either — that was a stale doc claim, corrected separately). Refiling into Topic notes and into per-project todo.org files is unchanged. Test reworked to assert Topic is included and Project is not.
