+Revision ID: 0035_saved_views

+Adds the `saved_views` table: per-user named snapshots of the feed's filter/sort state. Each
+row stores the serialized FeedFilters (JSON), a sidebar `position` for drag-reorder, and an
+`is_default` flag (at most one per user, enforced by the API) for the view applied on load.
