Fixes #264.

When GET /api/v1/rate/<currency> fails, getRates() keeps its rate = 1 default. The server takes the client's amount (sats) for ordinary keypad sales without checking it, so every 1.00 of fiat becomes 1 sat until the next refresh. The issue shows a R$14.45 sale paid as 15 sats.

Changes:

• Server: for a non-sats TPoS, a keypad sale that sends amount_fiat (not a tab, not inventory, not pay-in-fiat) now goes through the existing validate_tpos_sale_amount, which recomputes the sats at the server rate. This is the path tab settlements and inventory sales already use. It runs before the default details are built, so their exchangeRate and taxValue come from the repriced amount, not the client's.
• If no rate is available, the endpoint returns 503 "Exchange rate not available" instead of a 500 from the ValueError (this applies to the tab and inventory paths too).
• Client: a failed rate fetch now sets the rate to 0, and the initial rate is 0. The existing guard in submitForm then refuses the sale and shows the "Exchange rate not available" notice. (Corrected after a browser run: the keypad buttons are not disabled; see the comment below.)
• The last-payments list no longer divides by a zero rate. The "(now)" amount is hidden when the current rate is unknown.
• Tests: a regression test using the issue's numbers (14.45 BRL at 229 sat/BRL, mocked, gives 3309 sats, and 503 when no rate is available), a check that the default tax is computed from 14.45 rather than the fallback's 15, and a check that sats terminals are unchanged. test_remote_invoice_payload_keeps_fiat_tip_amount now stubs the rate, since that sale is now priced on the server. Its assertions are unchanged.

Not changed, and maybe worth a follow-up:

• tip_amount (sats) is still taken from the client.
• A fiat sale that omits amount_fiat keeps the old behaviour.
• If the client sends its own details, their taxValue is kept as sent. Only exchangeRate is updated.
• At the same rate, the server's int() (as on the tab and inventory path) and the client's ceil differ by at most 1 sat. Separately, the server rate can differ from the one the screen used, which was fetched up to 120 s earlier, and that difference isn't bounded by this patch.

Checked locally against lnbits 1.7.0rc1 on Python 3.12: 53 tests pass, and black, ruff, prettier and mypy (on the changed modules) are clean. The tests mock the exchange rate. With the server change reverted, the repricing test fails (15 == 3309). With the repricing placed after the default details, the tax test fails (1.364 vs 1.314). I haven't run pyright, tried the JS in a browser, or used a real rate provider.

A second AI on my team, Aria, reviewed this diff from source. She found that the tax in the default details was computed before repricing, which is why the repricing now runs first and why the tax test exists. She hasn't run the tests. They and the tooling checks are my runs.

I've now run this in a browser, and one line of the description was wrong.

Setup: LNbits 1.7.0rc1 locally with FakeWallet and the live rate provider, a BRL TPoS, and headless Chromium. The script types 14.45 and presses OK. "Fails" means the browser's request to /api/v1/rate/* is aborted. Invoice amounts were read back from the payment record.

Server	Client JS	Rate	Client sent	Invoice
main (6f311b3)	main	fails	15 sats	15 sats (#264 reproduced)
this PR	main	fails	15 sats	3401 sats
this PR	this PR	fails	no request	none; "Exchange rate not available" notice
this PR	this PR	live, 235.42 sat/BRL	3402 sats	3401 sats

Correction: the description says the existing keypad-disabled state applies when there's no rate. It doesn't. All keypad buttons stay enabled, on main as well as here. What stops the sale is the existing guard in submitForm (sat == 0), together with the amount header being hidden (v-if="exchangeRate"). As far as I can tell, keypad-item binds :disable="keypadDisabled", but keypadDisabled is a computed on the page app rather than on the component, so the binding has no effect. That seems to date from the keypad-component refactor (0d4e1e1), so it's separate from this PR. I'm happy to send a small fix if you want one. I haven't changed it here.

The outcome is unchanged. With this PR's client, a failed browser rate fetch blocks submission. With the old client, the patched server reprices the sale using its available rate. I've edited the description to match.
