chore(billing): delete the dead seat-based billing feature

The usage-based billing cutover shipped (#3485, #3487, #3488) and the
seat model is dead code: nothing rendered useSeat, the seat store was
only fed by auth/onboarding sync calls, and the /api/seats/* client
methods have no remaining product surface.

Removed: shared seat types/plan keys, core SeatService/seatView/
seatErrors + tokens, the UI seat store/client/hook, api-client seat
methods and seat error classes, the SUBSCRIPTION_STARTED/CANCELLED
analytics events, the orphaned "upgrade_dialog" surface literal, and
the gateway invalidate-plan-cache chain (router procedure, service
method, endpoint, URL helper) whose only caller was the seat upgrade
flow.

Auth identity sync keeps the usage-snapshot cache clear (still
load-bearing for usage billing); the llmGateway query invalidation it
carried was a no-op (no queries live under that key) and is dropped.
