Subject: [PATCH] Add escort-specific status labels to job board

- Introduce `escortActive` and `escortActivate` strings in sidequests.json so escort contracts display distinct copy instead of the generic patrol text.
- Update JobBoardWindow status and action buttons to branch on `category === 'escort'`, falling back to existing bounty/patrol labels.
