fix(recipe): use resources type field to identify checkpoint instead of modelVersionIds[0]

When importing a CivitAI image as a recipe, modelVersionIds[0] was blindly used as the checkpoint version ID. This array mixes checkpoints and LoRAs without ordering guarantees, causing LoRAs to be saved as the recipe checkpoint.

Fix by:
1. Removing the modelVersionIds[0] fallback in _download_remote_media
2. Parsing resources entries with type:"model" as the checkpoint
3. Adding model type validation in populate_checkpoint_from_civitai

Also add 2 tests for the new behavior and fix 3 tests whose mocks lacked the required model.type field.
