feat(license): add BSL license enforcement with device limit indicator

- Add LICENSE_DEVICES env var (default 250, matches BSL 1.1 free tier)
- Add /api/settings/license endpoint returning device count vs limit
- Header shows flashing red "502/500 licensed" badge when over limit
- About page shows license tier, device count, and over-limit warning
- Nothing is crippled — all features work regardless of device count
- Bump version to 9.7.1
