feat(backup): encrypted on-site DB backup engine + local target

The SQLite DB is the signed append-only ledger, so a disk failure / stolen or
destroyed PC means total revenue-history loss (open-question #5). This is the first
slice of the backup-recovery design: the engine + a local/mounted target + a daily
timer + a manual route.

Engine (apps/server/src/backup.ts):
- Consistent online copy of the live WAL DB via better-sqlite3's native .backup()
  (not a raw file copy, which can capture a torn WAL) — the restored copy is a
  byte-identical, queryable DB.
- AES-256-GCM with a scrypt-derived key from BACKUP_KEY; self-describing header
  (magic|version|salt|iv|...|authTag) so a restore tool needs only the key + file.
  Zero new dependencies (Node crypto).
- The plaintext intermediate is kept in scratch (not the removable/network target)
  and wiped in a finally, success or fail.
- Retention: keep-last-N + one-per-day within N days.

Wiring:
- BackupService (env config, single in-flight guard, last-success/last-error).
- routes/backup.ts: GET /api/backup/status (backup:read), POST /api/backup/run
  (backup:create), 409 when unconfigured. No restore route — restore is an
  out-of-band runbook action on a fresh appliance, not a console call.
- New  permission resource in @parking/shared.
- server.ts: an unref'd daily timer, a no-op until BACKUP_TARGET_DIR + BACKUP_KEY
  are set, deliberately not run at startup (a just-power-cut booth shouldn't write
  to a possibly-unmounted disk).
- openRawDb() added to @parking/db/testing (open a file without migrating, for
  restore-verification tests).

BACKUP_KEY is deliberately SEPARATE from EVENT_SIGNING_KEY (independent rotation;
backups travel, the signing key shouldn't). SMB/NFS work as mount paths; SFTP +
admin UI + restore runbook are deferred slices. Tests: round-trip byte-identical,
GCM tamper/wrong-key fail, short-key rejected, scratch cleaned, route auth/RBAC +
409. build/lint/test green (212 server tests). Wiki + open-question #5 updated.

// On-site encrypted DB backup — the durability half of the anti-fraud design. The SQLite
// DB *is* the signed append-only ledger, so a disk failure / stolen-or-destroyed PC means
// total revenue-history loss. This produces a consistent, encrypted, restore-to-a-fresh-
// appliance copy. See wiki/concepts/backup-recovery.md.
//
// Two load-bearing properties:
// 1. CONSISTENT copy of a LIVE WAL-mode DB — via better-sqlite3's online .backup() (NOT a
// raw file copy, which can capture a torn WAL). The result must still verifyChain.
// 2. Encrypted with a DEDICATED key (BACKUP_KEY / park_buzi_backup_key), SEPARATE from
// EVENT_SIGNING_KEY — so the backup key can rotate without fracturing the signed chain,
// and a backup target never exposes the signing key. The key is NEVER written into the
// backup it unlocks.
//
// This module is the engine (consistent copy → encrypt → retention). Targets beyond a local/
// mounted path (SMB/NFS are just mount paths; SFTP) and the manual button/route are layered on
// top. RESTORE is intentionally NOT here — it's an out-of-band runbook action on a fresh box.
