Add abuse protection to the ROI calculator form

The calculator endpoint was open to anyone, and it has been collecting
spam submissions. Add a layered guard that runs before anything is
written to the DB or sent to the AI provider:

- Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA, verified server-side (active when
  TURNSTILE_* keys are configured; fails closed if unverifiable)
- Honeypot field that only bots fill in
- Signed, single-use form token enforcing a 4s minimum fill time
- Per-IP rate limiting (5 per 10 min, 25 per 24h)

Layers 2-4 need no configuration and work on their own, so submissions
are throttled immediately; adding Turnstile keys upgrades it to a full
challenge. Blocked submissions now stop the flow client-side instead of
silently showing a result.

Also sets `trust proxy` for correct client IPs behind nginx, caps the
JSON body at 32kb, and fixes a latent ReferenceError in the
"AI not configured" branch that called saveCalcSubmission() before the
variables it closes over were declared.

/**
* HOA LedgerIQ — Form abuse protection
*
* Layered defence for public form endpoints (ROI calculator, lead capture):
*
* 1. Cloudflare Turnstile — real CAPTCHA, active when TURNSTILE_* keys are set.
* 2. Honeypot field — a hidden input humans never fill in.
* 3. Signed form token — proves the form was actually loaded, and enforces a
* minimum fill time (bots submit instantly).
* 4. Per-IP rate limiting — caps bursts and daily volume from one source.
*
* Layers 24 need no configuration and work on their own; adding Turnstile keys
* upgrades the protection to a full CAPTCHA challenge.
