Juan Castro bd19fd18ec feat: cap teams per user and seats per team
A seat is a real Puter account: it takes a name from the global username pool
and gets a home directory. Nothing charges for one — that is prod's job — so
until it does, the only bound on creation is the request rate limit, which
bounds the rate and not the total.

  max_teams_per_user   default 1
  max_seats_per_team   default 50

Ordering is the substance of both checks. The team cap is tested before
the handle, so a capped user is told they are capped rather than that the name
they picked was unusable. The seat cap is tested before any account state
exists, so a refused provision does not burn a global username.

Soft-deleted teams do not count toward the owner's cap, so deleting frees
the slot — which does mean create, provision, delete, repeat still consumes
usernames over time, bounded by the daily rate limit. The caps raise the cost
and make the cycle audited; they do not close it.

Lowering the seat limit blocks new provisioning and disables nobody.

Both limits are published in rate-limits-and-quotas.md, and both keys are
documented in config.template.jsonc and config.default.json.

Closes PUT-1758.
