mint/lightning: refuse caller-supplied invoices, tiered fees, log hygiene

- invoices: reject caller-supplied bolt11/bolt12; the server always mints its
  own. Closes the invoice-registration path behind the shared-node credit and
  payment-hijack vectors.
- lightning: skip mint-owned invoices (lbl* label) in the paid-invoice listener.
- payments: lightning free-tier fee credit, withheld for flagged high-throughput
  (ln:nofree) accounts which pay an elevated rate; the failed-send reversal
  restores credit at the same rate. freezeCheck made crash-resilient. Lightning
  and bolt12 sends stay pending until the preimage settles.
- payments (route): validate payment-request / invoice input types.
- logging: collapse repeated xpay failure lines into one.
