costa-rica: implement payment reorder (PRE-FLIGHT #6) — pre-charge row + reuse-in-flight

GO-LIVE PRE-FLIGHT #6: the payment provider-agnostic reconcilability half.

Money-path fix: POST /bookings/:code/pay now INSERTs a 'processing' payments row
BEFORE calling createCharge() (previously it was AFTER). This ensures:
  1. Timeout on createCharge leaves a reconcilable row (provider webhook can still find it)
  2. Retry of same pay call reuses in-flight processing/requires_action payment
     (returns payment_id + client_action WITHOUT firing 2nd charge)
  3. Failed prior row allows fresh attempt

Control flow reorder in routes/app.js:
  - check for in-flight payment before calling provider
  - INSERT 'processing' row with booking.code as idempotency token (local, not yet provider-honored)
  - call createCharge; on timeout/error, UPDATE to 'failed' + raw error
  - on success, UPDATE with provider_ref + final status

Tests (test/booking-pay-idempotency.test.js):
  - timeout leaves 'processing' row (reconcilable)
  - retry reuses in-flight payment (no double-charge)
  - booking stays 'pending' on timeout (no premature confirmation)

Provider-honored idempotency key (Cody #2, the live half) deferred to Tilopay/ONVO
account provisioning (CR-KYC blocker). This local pre-charge row is provider-agnostic
and lands regardless.

Baseline: 117/117 tests (cycle 4). After: 120/120 tests (+3 new payment-reorder tests).
