Subject: [PATCH] feat(payments): Add variable pricing with deposit collection
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Services can now have variable pricing where:
- Final price is determined after service completion
- A deposit (fixed amount or percentage) is collected at booking
- Customer's saved payment method is charged for remaining balance

Changes:
- Add variable_pricing, deposit_amount, deposit_percent fields to Service model
- Add service FK and final_price fields to Event model
- Add AWAITING_PAYMENT status to Event
- Add SetFinalPriceView endpoint to charge customer's saved card
- Add EventPricingInfoView endpoint for pricing details
- Update Services page with variable pricing toggle and deposit config
- Show "From $X" and deposit info in customer preview
