Auto-provision merchant from account keypair on first access

The LNbits user account IS the merchant identity. GET /api/v1/merchant
now auto-creates the merchant record using the account's existing Nostr
keypair if one doesn't exist yet, so the extension is immediately
usable without any setup screen.

- Extract _auto_create_merchant() helper used by both GET and POST
- Remove welcome/key-generation screen (replaced with loading spinner)
- Remove dead frontend code (generateKeys, importKeys dialogs)
