feat: implement subscription group plans with member management

[iorchirmyom-afk]

Overview

This PR adds a production-ready Subscription Group Plans system with full member management for the platform. It introduces group-level plan lifecycle management, seat-based member operations, billing engine support for prorated subscription charges, consolidation of member billing into group invoices, and an alignment service that keeps member entitlements synchronized with active group plans.
