fix(accounts): anchor duplicate-account detection to a real Open directive (libra-#48)

The existence check matched 'open <name>' anywhere in the chart source,
so a prior account's description metadata or a comment mentioning the
name produced a false 409, while a real directive with an inline comment
and no space ('open X;legacy') was missed → a duplicate Open was appended
and bean-check then rejected the file, breaking every later /api/source
write. Extract the check into a pure _open_directive_exists() anchored to
'^YYYY-MM-DD open <name>' with an account-boundary negative-lookahead, and
unit-test both failure directions plus prefix/child non-matches.
