Add security hardening: helmet, CORS allowlist, body limit, ID validation

- Install and configure helmet with basic CSP in app.js
- Restrict CORS to ALLOWED_ORIGIN env var (default localhost:5173)
- Add express.json 1mb body size limit to prevent memory exhaustion
- Add parseInt+isNaN validation for all :id route params in bills.js
  and financing.js (GET/PUT/DELETE/:id and PATCH financing-payments/:id)
- Extend bills.routes.test.js and financing.routes.test.js with ID
  validation tests (non-numeric IDs → HTTP 400)

**Financing:** `GET/POST /api/financing`, `PUT/DELETE /api/financing/:id`, `PATCH /api/financing-payments/:id/paid`. Plans track a total amount, payoff due date, and `start_date`. Payment per period is auto-calculated as `(remaining balance) / (remaining periods)`. Split plans (`assigned_paycheck = null`) divide each period's payment across both paychecks. Plans auto-close when fully paid. Financing payments are included in the paycheck remaining balance. `start_date` prevents a plan from appearing on paycheck months before it was created — both virtual previews and `generate` respect this guard.
**Migrations:** SQL files in `db/migrations/` are applied in filename order on server startup. Add new migrations as `00N_description.sql` — they run once and are tracked in the `migrations` table.
**Security hardening:** `server/src/app.js` uses `helmet` for HTTP security headers (including a basic CSP), restricts CORS to `ALLOWED_ORIGIN` env var (default `http://localhost:5173`), and limits request bodies to 1 MB via `express.json({ limit: '1mb' })`. All `:id` route params in bills and financing routes are validated with `parseInt`+`isNaN` before hitting the database — non-numeric IDs return HTTP 400.
