fix: resolve guest booking failures from router conflict, reservation self-block, and closed-day miscalculation

- backend/main.go: Flatten /bookings/* sub-Route to explicit paths to prevent
  RequireAuth middleware from bleeding into OptionalAuth POST /bookings
- backend/handlers/scheduling/time-blockers.go: Exclude RESERVATION:* entries
  from GetTimeBlockersInRange so overlap checks dont reject the users own
  reservation before CreateBookingHandler can delete it
- local-dev-2.sh: Fix open_day to skip Saturday (6) not Monday (1), matching
  working_hours schema; move guest booking dates to +16/+20/+22 days beyond
  the upcoming loop range; add reserve-then-book step mirroring frontend flow
