feat(import): calculate balances from transactions (#403)
## Why

Some banks return transactions without a balance column. The CSV/Excel
importer happily creates the transactions but leaves the account without
any balance history, making the account look incomplete.

## What

Opt-in flow that derives per-day balances from the transactions
themselves, using a single reference point (the balance on the date of
the latest transaction).

### Mapping step
- New checkbox **"Calculate balances from transactions"** next to the
  Balance column select.
- Available only when no balance column is mapped (disabled + visually
  faded otherwise).
- When checked, a balance input appears labeled with the latest
  transaction date using a relative format:
  - `Today`
  - `Yesterday`
  - `Monday, 3 of Jun`
- If an `AccountBalance` already exists for that date, it is pre-filled
  automatically (no need to ask) with a small hint.
- The reference balance is **mandatory** when the checkbox is checked;
  the Next button is disabled until it is provided.

### Preview step
- A new `Balance` column shows the balance about to be created for each
  date, regardless of whether it came from the file or was calculated.

### Persistence
- Balances are computed by walking backwards across distinct transaction
  dates and subtracting each day's net movement.
- They flow through the existing import path that POSTs to
  `AccountBalanceController@store`, so no new endpoint was needed.

## Feature flag

Hidden behind a new Pennant feature, **off by default**:

```bash
php artisan feature:enable CalculateBalancesOnImport user@example.com
# or
php artisan feature:enable CalculateBalancesOnImport all
```

The flag is exposed to the frontend via Inertia shared props
(`features.calculateBalancesOnImport`).

## Tests

- New vitest cases for `getLatestTransactionDate` and
  `calculateBalancesFromTransactions` (sparse dates, reference date
  without txns, empty list).
- `LocalizationTest` passes (new ES strings added).
- Full vitest suite green (106 tests).
