Add saturated_fat_g to add_custom_food#15

Custom foods could not include saturated fat — the field had no parameter, so foods created via the API silently undercounted daily saturated fat totals (now surfaced in summaries since rwestergren#14). Adds saturated_fat_g (per-serving, g, default 0) to add_custom_food, wired to nutrient ID 606 with the same per-100g scaling as other nutrients. Backward compatible — existing calls are unaffected. Field-tested for 3 weeks as a local patch driving a personal food library with cardiovascular-target tracking. The same pattern extends naturally to cholesterol, trans_fat, and omega_3/6 (already in NUTRIENT_IDS) if there's interest in a follow-up.

(Follow-up from #13 — thanks for the fast turnaround on that one!)
