`entries.hold.set`

Say whether a card charge is a hotel hold with entryId, state (confirmed_hold or not_a_hold) and an idempotencyKey. Confirming books the charge as a transfer, so it leaves expense totals and tax while staying visible and matched; pass resolvedByEntryId to say which later charge replaced it. Declining puts the purchase back. A person's decision is final: Oatmilk never overturns it. Closed periods can't change. Contributors can decide only transactions they own.
