feat: E-Rechnungs-Backend, Pflichtangaben-Validator, Nummern-Audit und DATEV-Export

Größerer Wurf rund um Rechnungen: das vollständige E-Rechnungs- und
Lifecycle-Backend wird eingecheckt, die UI-seitige Rechnungserstellung wird
zugunsten eines DATEV-Exports zurückgebaut, und die Test-Infrastruktur wird
auf JDK 25 angehoben.

E-Rechnung & Signatur
- ZUGFeRD/Factur-X/XRechnung-Anreicherung via Mustang (EInvoiceService).
- PAdES-Detached-Signatur via PDFBox + BouncyCastle, System- und Nutzer-
  Keystore-Pfad, Nutzer-Keystores AES-GCM-verschlüsselt (AesGcmCipher,
  SigningCredentialsService, UserSigningCredentials).
- Konfiguration via EInvoiceProperties + EInvoiceSecurityInitializer.
- Approval-Workflow für kritische Rechnungsvorgänge (Storno, Berichtigung):
  InvoiceApprovalService, InvoiceApprovalRequest, ApprovalsView,
  InvoicePermissionService, InvoiceRoles.

Lifecycle & Audit
- InvoiceStatus DRAFT/ISSUED/SENT/CANCELLED/CORRECTED, InvoiceType
  INVOICE/CORRECTION/CANCELLATION, PaymentStatus, lückenloser Audit-Trail
  via InvoiceAuditEntry/Action.
- InvoiceLifecycleService verwaltet alle Übergänge inklusive Storno- und
  Berichtigungsbelegen mit Querverweis zur Originalrechnung.
- InvoiceLifecycleMigration zieht Bestandsdaten in das neue Lifecycle-Modell.
- InvoiceExportService bündelt Original + Folgebelege als ZIP für die
  Auslieferung an den Steuerberater.

Pflichtangaben-Validator (§ 14 UStG)
- InvoiceComplianceValidator + Exception sammeln alle Verstöße in einem
  Lauf (Pflichtfelder, Adressen, Steuernummer/USt-IdNr, Items, Betrags-
  konsistenz, Hinweispflicht bei 0 % USt).
- Wird vor jedem DRAFT-→-ISSUED-Übergang im Lifecycle aufgerufen, sodass
  festgeschriebene Rechnungen keine Pflichtfeld-Lücken mehr haben können.

Rechnungsnummer-Audit (§ 14 Abs. 4 Nr. 4 UStG / GoBD)
- InvoiceNumberReservation + Status RESERVED/USED/VOIDED protokollieren
  jede aus dem Counter gezogene Nummer.
- UserInvoiceDataService schreibt bei Vergabe ein RESERVED-Audit, der
  Lifecycle setzt nach Festschreiben USED bzw. nach Löschen eines Entwurfs
  VOIDED — Lücken im Nummernkreis sind dadurch erklärbar.
- InvoiceNumberAuditService liefert markUsed/markVoided/findUnused für
  Folge-UI und Betriebsprüfungs-Reports.

UI-Rückbau und DATEV-Export
- Routen für CreateInvoiceView, InvoicesView, MyInvoicesView auskommentiert
  (Code bleibt erhalten, Reaktivierung dokumentiert).
- Rechnungs-Buttons aus ShowJobsView entfernt, Nav-Eintrag „Rechnungen"
  durch „DATEV-Export" ersetzt.
- DatevExportService erzeugt einen DATEV-EXTF-Buchungsstapel (Version 7,
  Windows-1252, CRLF) mit SKR03-Erlöskonten (8400/8300/8125), Sammel-
  debitor 10000 und korrektem S/H-Verhalten für Stornorechnungen.
- DatevExportView mit Zeitraum-Picker und Auto-Download.
- i18n-Keys (de/en) für nav.datev.export und datev.export.*.

Tests & Build
- EInvoiceServiceTest (Signatur-Pfade), EInvoiceServiceDssValidationTest
  (PAdES-Profil via EU DSS 6.2 — dokumentiert PKCS7-B als Ist-Stand),
  InvoiceComplianceValidatorTest (26 Cases als Spezifikation der
  Pflichtangaben), InvoiceNumberAuditServiceTest, DatevExportServiceTest.
- Mockito 5.18 + ByteBuddy 1.17.5 in <dependencyManagement> gepinnt;
  die Spring-Boot-3.4.3-Defaults (Mockito 5.14.2 / ByteBuddy 1.15.11)
  konnten den Inline-Mock-Maker auf JDK 25 nicht laden, weshalb die
  beiden DemoModeServiceTests vorher rot waren.
- DSS-Test-Dependencies (dss-pades-pdfbox, dss-validation,
  dss-utils-apache-commons, dss-crl-parser-x509crl 6.2) im Test-Scope.

+ * DSS hier die Signatur kryptographisch nach und liefert ein Diagnostic-Data-
+ * Modell.
+ *
+ * <p>Geprüft wird pro Signaturpfad (System- und Nutzer-Keystore):
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>genau eine Signatur ist im Dokument enthalten,</li>
+ *   <li>die Signatur ist kryptographisch intakt (Hash &amp; Signaturwert),</li>
+ *   <li>das Format ist PAdES-Baseline (mehr ist mit den aktuellen
+ *       Service-Settings nicht zu erwarten — kein TSA, kein DSS-Dictionary),</li>
+ *   <li>der Signer-DN entspricht dem im Test erzeugten Zertifikat.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Die Self-Signed-Zertifikate werden als Trust-Anchor in den
+ * {@link CommonCertificateVerifier} eingehängt — sonst würde DSS die Kette
+ * korrekt als nicht vertrauenswürdig melden, was über die rein technische
