Append-only signed event log; persist Dingtian input pushes

Implement the core anti-fraud primitive: an append-only, hash-chained,
signed event log (the schema + types predated this; the writer/signer are new).

- EventLog (apps/server): serialized append, monotonic index, prevHash chain,
  signature; verifyChain() detects tamper/reorder/delete. No update/delete paths.
- Signer abstraction (packages/shared) over the ATECC608 secure element, with a
  SoftwareSigner (HMAC, EVENT_SIGNING_KEY) shipped now since the chip is still
  open-question #6. Documented: software signer is tamper-evident but NOT
  unforgeable-by-owner.
- Add ParkingEventType "input_received" for raw device inputs (not yet a
  vehicle_entry, which the entry flow will append later).
- Read API: GET /api/events; integrity self-check: GET /api/events/verify (admin).

Verified on hardware: shorting the Dingtian inputs produced signed, chained
input_received events; verifyChain ok; direct DB tamper/delete detected.

NOTE: the log captures host-originated actions only. Out-of-band relay
actuation (sniffed relay_pw, string protocol, ip_watchdog) produces no event
by design -- the control is reconciliation vs. an independent witness, which is
not yet built. See wiki/concepts/append-only-event-chain.md.

// Concrete signers for the append-only event chain. The Signer interface is the
// abstraction over the ATECC608 secure element (open-question #6 — chip not yet
// confirmed wired). Until the chip is present we use a software HMAC signer:
// it makes the chain self-consistent + tamper-evident, but is NOT unforgeable by
// someone who owns the host (only the ATECC608's non-extractable key is). The
// swap to hardware is a new Signer impl — no event-log changes.
// See wiki/concepts/append-only-event-chain.md and wiki/entities/atecc608.md.
