feat(rates): last-mile rate rules with bulk per-ton-km and container distance bands

- rates: min_km/max_km columns, PER_TON_KM unit, ETB|USD currency for last mile
- extend UQ_rates_pattern with band start; overlap + shape validation
- shared last-mile charge resolver; approve-dialog price estimate endpoint
- delivery-fee invoice prices via rules, falls back to vehicle price/km
- backoffice: last-mile rate form (mode, container type, band, currency)
