feat: add ParquetValidate mage target and ClickHouse querying docs

Adds a `mage parquetValidate` target that validates a Parquet recording
via clickhouse-local in Docker (schema presence, row count, seq/time_ns
sanity). Adds docs/parquet-querying.md with schema reference, invocation
pattern, and seven example queries with representative outputs.
