fix: guard every machine_npub deref against unpaired machines (None)

machine_npub became nullable in #29/m011 (register-unpaired flow), but
several consumers still assumed it's non-None and crashed
`normalize_public_key(None)` with `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'startswith'`. On the demo (which had an unpaired machine) this
broke the platform-fee update (500) and spammed the cassette consumer with
errors every 2s. The #29 create/pair paths were guarded; these were missed:

- views_api `api_update_super_config`: the "republish fee to every active
  machine" loop → skip unpaired (they get their config at pairing).
- cassette_transport `build_state_d_tags_for_machines`: skip unpaired (no
  state-beacon d-tag yet) — the cassette-consumer loop crash.
- crud `get_machine_by_atm_pubkey_hex`: its `except (ValueError,
  AssertionError)` didn't catch the AttributeError; skip unpaired before
  normalize — the cassette event-handler crash.
- bitspire `assert_nostr_attribution`: reject (SettlementAttributionError) an
  unpaired machine instead of crashing the payment listener.
- views_api cassettes/publish endpoint: 400 (not paired) instead of crashing
  publish_to_atm.

Verified on the dev stack: with an unpaired active machine present, the
cassette consumer registers (skipping it) and runs clean — no AttributeError.
