feat(kb): intermediate progressions + level tags for jazz, gospel, rnb (task P-20)

6 new level:'intermediate' progressions (tritone sub, rhythm-changes
bridge, gospel passing-dim walk-up, tonicized amen w/ borrowed iv,
Just-the-Two-of-Us loop, Sir Duke chromatic vi) x 2 guitar plays each;
all progressions in the three styles now carry explicit level. KB:
56 progressions / 112 plays. Critic returned once (3 caption theory
misstatements), fixed, PASS on re-gate (voice-leading arithmetic
hand-verified from shape constants).
