feat(audit): books.audit, the attestation tools and the CPA gate (P8)

The whole re-audit through the tools: books.audit previews its checks, then
with the preview's digest runs them, files the workpaper and journals the
run; the same books, day and scope return the run that exists.
books.attest_receipt, books.review_entry and books.attest_period record a
named client's claim with its self-reported method; books.attestations
weighs each against policy.attestation_bar as it stands. Under
policy.cpa_package_requires_audit = refuse, books that declared audits
cannot export the CPA package without a counted audit for the handoff at the
current head unless a reason is given, which is journaled as a decision
(D-9). Needs attention asks for the month-end attestation, the annual audit
and the audit before the handoff. Rules B-45, the handbook section, the
interface, parity, receipt-store and testing records, and the As-built
block. Merge needs no go-ahead: the live books refuse the new writes until
the owner gives it.
