Subject: fix(org-roam): declare capture-templates special for immediate insert

Without the defvar, the byte-compiled let-binding in cj/org-roam-node-insert-immediate is a dead lexical binding and :immediate-finish never reaches org-roam-node-insert, so the immediate insert opened a capture buffer.
