feat(payments): lock checkout email via Polar server-side checkout sessions

Replace static Polar checkout links with a server-side POST /api/checkout
route that creates a checkout session with customer_external_id = user ID
and customer_email locked (not editable). Adds loading/error states and
a post-checkout success banner on the profile page.
