Add `skip_duplicate_validation` to the Preview `merge_contacts_request` schema, an override request example, and the `400 invalid_merge` response on the MergeContact operation. Affects the Preview (descriptions/0) spec only; stable versions are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why?
The Preview API's
POST /contacts/mergeendpoint now rejects merges of contacts that are not duplicates (no matching email or phone) with a400 invalid_mergeerror, and accepts askip_duplicate_validationflag to override that check. SDKs and the Postman collection are generated from this spec, so it needs to expose the new request field and document the error response.How?
