test: clarify 1h advance requirement is USER-ONLY, add admin walk-in tests

FIXES:
- Clarified that 1-hour minimum advance requirement applies to USER bookings only
- Admins can create walk-in bookings with no advance notice via AdminCreateBookingForUserHandler
- Updated test comments to reflect this distinction

NEW TESTS ADDED:
- TestAdminBookings_Create_WalkIn: Admin creates booking with < 1h notice (walk-in)
- TestAdminBookings_Create_WalkInWithDeposits: Admin walk-in with outstanding deposits + enforce_deposits=false

TEST SCENARIOS VERIFIED:
✓ User: Cannot book < 1h in advance (400 error)
✓ Admin: CAN book < 1h in advance (walk-in, 201 created)
✓ Admin: Can create walk-ins even with user deposits (with enforce_deposits bypass)
✓ Admin: Can bypass minimum advance requirement

BUILD STATUS:
✓ go build -tags test ./handlers/bookings
✓ go build -tags test ./handlers/admin
✓ go build -tags dev ./main.go

Documentation now clearly distinguishes:
- User journey: 1h minimum advance (universal)
- Admin journey: No minimum advance (accept walk-ins)
