Fix 6 Postgres-specific test failures in workflow store

Root causes:
- PG store CreateInstance/CreateAssignment set defaults in local vars
  but didn't write them back to the struct, so callers saw empty
  Status fields (violating CHECK constraints on subsequent updates)
- PG JSONB normalizes whitespace ({"key": "val"} vs {"key":"val"})
  but tests compared exact strings
- ListSignoffs test used "nonexistent" as instance_id but PG
  validates UUID format

Fixes:
- Write defaults directly to inst.Status / a.Status in PG store
  (aligns with SQLite store which already did this)
- Add jsonEq() helper using json.Compact for whitespace-agnostic
  JSON comparison across all stage_data/review_data assertions
- Use valid zero-UUID for non-existent instance in signoff test

All 35 tests pass on SQLite (28 store + 7 engine).
