feat(license): the paste form is self-hosted only
Server Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m14s

A cloud instance's licence is issued in HQ and written into the control
plane by admin/internal/inject, straight to the database. The customer has
nothing to paste, so /settings/license offered them a form that could only
ever fail — and on an expired cloud instance, failed at the exact moment
they were looking for a way out.

GET /license now reports `deployment`, and the page swaps the paste form
for a short panel saying where the licence comes from, with a link to the
portal when HQ_URL is set. That is the same treatment hq-managed members
already get in the members table: read-only here, and a pointer to where
it is actually managed.

POST /license refuses with 409 cloud_managed on a cloud deployment. Hiding
a form is a courtesy; this codebase's rule is that the API is the boundary,
and the endpoint was reachable regardless of what the page rendered. It
cannot break injection, which never goes through HTTP at all.

Verified: server builds and vets clean, web builds clean.

`GET /license` reports `deployment`, and **`POST /license` answers 409 `cloud_managed` when it is `cloud`**. A cloud instance's licence is written by `admin/internal/inject` straight into the database and never through this endpoint, so the refusal cannot break injection — it only stops a customer pasting over a licence they do not own. `web/` hides the paste form and points at the HQ portal instead, but as with `hq`-managed users, the API is the boundary and the UI is the courtesy.
`POST /license` is also in `licenceExemptPaths`: pasting a valid licence has to work while the current one is expired, because it is the way out of degraded mode.
