fix(api): enforce requireSuperUser on settings PATCH and fix dev-mode auth bypass

- Add requireSuperUser() middleware to PATCH /api/admin/settings route
  to ensure only super users can modify business settings

- Fix dev-mode (AUTH_DISABLED=true) force-set of isSuperUser:true
  for all staff records in resolveStaffMiddleware. Now preserves
  actual database value with isSuperUser ?? false fallback.
  This prevents non-super-users (e.g., receptionists) from
  bypassing RBAC checks in dev mode.

- Fix test data: RECEPTIONIST and GROOMER now correctly have
  isSuperUser: false (was incorrectly inheriting true from MANAGER)

- Add 7 new tests for requireSuperUser middleware covering:
  - Super user access allowed
  - Non-super-user receptionist blocked with 403
  - Non-super-user groomer blocked with 403
  - Unresolved staff record returns 403
  - Receptionist cannot grant super user via PATCH
  - JSON error response format
