feat: accounts: add Gain (G) account type as subtype of Revenue [#2522]

Browse Source 
Add a new account type Gain with single-letter code G as a subtype of
Revenue, similar to how Cash is a subtype of Asset and Conversion is a
subtype of Equity. This enables tracking capital gains/losses separately
while still including them in income statements and close --retain.

Usage: account revenues:capital  ; type: G

- type:G matches only Gain accounts
- type:R matches both Revenue and Gain (subtype matching)
- Auto-detection from account names matching:
  ^(income|revenue)s?:(capital[- ]?)?(gains?|loss(es)?)(:|$)
  e.g. income:gains, revenue:capital-gains, income:losses
