feat: redesign /refractor status with rich Unicode display and team branding

Replace plain ASCII progress bars and text badges with a polished embed:
- Unicode block progress bars (▰▱) replacing ASCII [===---]
- Tier-specific symbols (○ ◈ ◆ ✦ ★) instead of [BC]/[R]/[GR]/[SF] badges
- Team-branded embeds via get_team_embed (color, logo, season footer)
- Tier distribution summary header in code block
- Percentage display and backtick-wrapped values
- Tier-specific accent colors for single-tier filtered views
- Sparkle treatment for fully evolved cards (✧ FULLY EVOLVED ✧)
