Darko Gjorgjijoski 05e8acc3b1 feat(pdf): let payment receipts and reports be overridden too (#731)
Only invoices and estimates could be customised. Payment receipts and all five
reports were hardcoded to app.pdf.*, so changing them meant editing files inside
the image -- and losing the edit on the next upgrade.

Those documents have no template picker and no design to choose between, so
overriding one is not a selection: it is a same-named file in
storage/app/templates/pdf/{type}/ winning over the built-in. PdfTemplateUtils::
resolveView() is that rule, and it needs no setting, no column and no UI.

resolveView asks View::exists rather than checking the storage disk. The disk and
the view namespace are registered separately and could disagree about where
custom templates live; asking the thing that will actually render removes that
possibility.

make:template covers the new types. Their names are not free, since an override
replaces one specific document, so it validates against the real list -- 'payment'
for payments, and the five report names -- and reports what is available when the
name is wrong. Neither type gets a preview image written, having no picker to
show one in.

The payment preview route also went through the built-in view directly rather
than the service, so ?preview ignored an override and rendered with none of the
shared data. It goes through the service now, like invoices and estimates.
