Explain empty staff pet dropdowns and return after adding a pet

[apescic-director]

Fixes #143

Staff Shelter case and Pet Care consultation create forms that need a pet showed a blank dropdown with no explanation and no way to add a pet first.

What this changes

• When staff have no visible pet profiles, the create panel shows an empty state instead of a blank select
• Staff who can create pets get an Add a pet first link to Shelter /shelter/pets#create or Pet Care /petcare/pets#create
• After saving that pet, staff return to the original create form with the new pet selected
• Public own-record empty dropdowns are unchanged (parked on [Task] Create a live public local test account #129)
• Unsafe return_to values are ignored so pet create still lands on the new pet page

Out of scope

• Hub Create/View URLs ([v1.2.0] 01 [Bug] Hub “what you can do” Create and View share one URL #136 — already shipped in 0.33.0)
• Public own-record empty states ([Task] Create a live public local test account #129)
• Staff list empty states ([v1.2.0] 03 [Story] Staff ticket and pet tables need empty states #134)

Tests

• StaffEmptyPetSelectTest covers empty-state copy and add-pet return on Shelter cases and Pet Care consultations, public users keeping a blank select, staff with pets keeping the dropdown, staff without pet-create permission seeing the explanation without the link, and rejected external return URLs
• StaffPetCreateReturnTest covers the allowed return keys
• Version-pinned changelog, health, and rollback contract tests updated for v0.33.1
• php artisan myapes:changelog-validate --base-ref=origin/main passed on the PR branch
• Focused PHPUnit (StaffEmptyPetSelectTest, StaffPetCreateReturnTest, ShelterCaseWorkflowTest, PetCareConsultationWorkflowTest, ShelterPetProfileWorkflowTest, PetCarePetProfileWorkflowTest, ServiceHubQuickLinksTest, ReleaseHistoryCommandTest, ChangeLogPageTest, HealthAndThemeTest, ModuleRollbackCompatibilityTest) passed

composer pre-pr-verify was not run as the Composer script (PowerShell). Changelog-validate and the focused PHPUnit set above were run on Linux instead. A live browser preview was not started in this environment; verification is route- and test-based.
