fix(devices): Cashino printer — ping-only driver (no false status) + Albanian role wording

The Cashino 80mm printer reported wrong status: it ran on the `rongta`
driver, whose readStatus() scrapes the Rongta board's /prn_stat.htm status
page — which the Cashino does not serve — yielding a bogus degraded/page-
error verdict while the printer was online and printing fine. Root cause:
the Cashino is an ESC/POS PRINT clone with no trustworthy STATUS mechanism.

Fix: extract the shared ESC/POS rendering + transport (renderTicket/
renderReport/renderSubscriptionCard/sendRaw/probe + CP852 map + code128/
qrCode) from printer-rongta into drivers/printer-escpos.ts, and add a
dedicated `cashino` driver that reuses that print path but is deliberately
NOT MonitorableDevice (no readStatus). isMonitorable() is then false, so the
device monitor falls back to healthCheck() — a plain TCP reachability ping:
reachable -> ready, unreachable -> offline, never a guessed paper/cover
state it cannot sense. Rongta driver unchanged (still scrapes its page,
still monitorable). Register + re-export cashinoDriver.

Verified at runtime (cashino registered, isMonitorable=false, no readStatus,
healthCheck->offline on unreachable) and live: /api/devices/status shows both
printers ready (lane via ping, booth via page). The live entry-dispenser at
10.0.10.9 was switched rongta->cashino in the operator DB (backed up).

Also fix the Albanian device-role chip wording, which read wrong as a
"{category} {role}" label: access mixed "i përzier" -> "hyrje/dalje"
(it means a barrier spanning both directions); printer lane "korsia" ->
"në korsi"; booth "kabina" -> "në kabinë". English tidied to match
(mixed->entry/exit, lane->at lane, booth->at booth).

// Shared ESC/POS rendering + raw-TCP transport for 80mm thermal printers.
// Rongta RP-series, Cashino, and the many OEM clones all speak ESC/POS over a
// raw TCP socket on port 9100 (the JetDirect/RAW convention) with no auth on the
// print socket — they live on the isolated device VLAN. The BYTE STREAM is
// identical across these clones; what differs is live status reporting (the
// Rongta board serves a decoded status page; the Cashino does not), so status
// stays in each driver while the rendering/transport live here.
