Subject: fix(org-roam): put dailies #+FILETAGS and #+TITLE on separate lines

The "d" dailies head ran FILETAGS and TITLE together with no newline, so every C-c n d daily was malformed: Org never parsed #+TITLE and the FILETAGS value swallowed the rest of the line. Extracted the head into the cj/--org-roam-dailies-head defconst so it is unit-testable (the value was unreachable inside the use-package :custom form) and gave it real newlines. Two ERT tests assert the FILETAGS/TITLE line separation and the trailing newline.
