[grade=B] refactor(license-keygen): extract programmatic API + atomic counter

Round-trip cleanup of dashcaddy-api/license-keygen.js:

- Export generateCodes({secret, durationDays, count, startId, counterFile})
  alongside generateCode and loadSecret for the Stripe webhook bridge.
- Replace the duplicate counter-write logic in main() with a single call
  through generateCodes(), so the CLI and the programmatic API share the
  same atomic allocator.
- _atomicWriteCounter() writes a uniquely-named .tmp file (pid+ts+rand
  suffix) and renames over the destination. POSIX rename is atomic on the
  same filesystem; the .tmp suffix prevents collisions across the event
  loop. Stale .tmp files are unlinked if rename fails.
- Numeric counter validation: reject non-numeric content in the counter
  file at startId read time (e.g. operator mucked up the file by hand).
- startId range-check: 0..0xFFFFFFFF, non-integer values rejected with a
  clear error. Uses Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(opts, 'startId')
  to distinguish 'caller passed startId' from 'caller omitted startId',
  so the CLI's omitted --start-id path hits the auto-counter branch.
- 32-bit codeId overflow check: startId + count - 1 must fit.
- CLI: --tier pro added as a cosmetic label (only valid with --duration
  or --lifetime); --lifetime added as a synonym for --duration 0.
  --lifetime and --duration are mutually exclusive. --start-id override
  skips the counter write.
- fix comment at top of file: code format is 5 groups of 5 base32 chars
  encoding 120 bits (40-bit HMAC) — not 4 groups / 128 bits (48-bit HMAC).
- Add __tests__/license-keygen.test.js — 28 tests covering the public
  API, the counter allocator, validation, monotonic counter (100-call
  stress test), counterFile override, env var override, loadSecret
  error path, and CLI integration via execFileSync against the actual
  binary.

/**
* Programmatic equivalent of the CLI's "generate codes" path.
*
* Differs from the CLI in two ways:
* 1. No console output — returns the resulting array.
* 2. Persists the counter file atomically (write to a uniquely-named
* .tmp, rename) so a crash mid-write doesn't leave the counter in a
* half-bumped state, and so concurrent calls don't collide on the
* same .tmp name.
*
* Concurrency: relies on Node's single-threaded event loop. Two
* synchronous calls in the same tick cannot interleave — the second call
* reads the post-write counter value. The atomic write helper protects
* against process crashes between writeFileSync and renameSync, and the
* unique .tmp suffix prevents filename collisions across ticks. Cross-process
* races are still possible — license-keygen.js is a single-instance admin
* tool, so callers must not invoke it from multiple processes simultaneously.
*
* Returns synchronously. The underlying counter allocator uses fs.*Sync,
* so the function never throws asynchronously. Wrap with Promise.resolve()
* if your caller needs a Promise.
*
* @param {Object} opts
* @param {string} opts.secret The master secret (hex string). Callers
* are responsible for loading it via
* loadSecret() or getSecret().
* @param {number} opts.durationDays 30, 90, 180, 365, or 0 for LIFETIME.
* Validated against VALID_DURATIONS / LIFETIME.
* @param {number} [opts.count=1] Number of codes to mint.
* @param {number} [opts.startId] Override the auto counter. If omitted,
* reads + increments the counter file.
* @param {string} [opts.counterFile] Override the counter file path.
* Defaults to env LICENSE_COUNTER_FILE or
