Add lesson 33: Views and materialized views

[exekias]

Adds Views and materialized views (roadmap item 01-views) — the new Module 8: Programmability.

Summary

Name and reuse a query as a virtual table with a view, or cache its result on disk with a materialized view.

Check

One query-returns check (customer-totals-view) — the learner creates a view and the check selects from it and compares the exact row.

Verified end-to-end against a non-superuser Postgres 16. npm run lessons:validate (34/34) and next build both pass.

Part of #6

@copilot the check is failing, fix it

Fixed in the latest commit. The issue was a YAML type mismatch: 1200.00 in YAML is parsed as the JavaScript number 1200, so String(1200) = "1200", but the database returns numeric column values as the string "1200.00". The comparison in rowsMatch then failed since "1200" !== "1200.00".

Fix: quoted the value as "1200.00" in lesson.yaml so js-yaml preserves it as a string, matching the DB output exactly.
