Closes : #208
Relationship inference matched a foreign key to a parent by comparing the singularized column stem to the parent table's name (layer prefix stripped), so a CDC history suffix, a landing-zone suffix (_data/_raw/_stg), or a versioned table name defeated the match entirely.
Adds a new, lower-confidence match tier that strips a small configurable set of prefixes/suffixes (entity_affixes in .dex/config.yml) plus a table-version suffix, and retries the entity-name comparison.
A stripped match never outranks an exact match to the same key, and explore relationships/explore map's notes say when a join relied on it. Where stripping resolves more than one candidate parent, both are proposed and --verify decides.
