Co-locate gift-links response serializers in the service module

[rob-ghost]

Problem

The gift-links response serialization lived in the API serializer layer, away from the rest of the module's concerns — its database mapping, queries, models, and service. The logic for one feature was split across two parts of the codebase.

Solution

Move the whole serialization — the response schemas, the transforms, and the endpoint-to-schema mapping — into the gift-links service module as a pure ES module, so it sits alongside the module's other concerns. The framework's output serializer registry points straight at it, so there is no separate adapter file. The module now owns all of its concerns in one place.

Stacked on #28783 — review this as the serializer move on top of that branch's data-layer split. Retargets to main once that merges.
