fix(email,ui): billing emails follow customer language + readable payment-check confirmation

- Billing/dunning emails no longer render in the gallery event's language.
  emailProcessor now honors an explicit `__language` in the email data
  (else falls back to the event-first recipient resolution), and the invoice
  reminder passes the customer/invoice locale (customer.preferred_language
  || invoice.language || 'de'). Fixes German customers getting English
  dunning notices. (#760)
- Payment-check confirmation card ("Action recorded") is now theme-adaptive
  (green tint + readable text on both light and dark surfaces) instead of a
  hardcoded light-green mix + dark-green title that vanished in dark mode. (#759)
- The per-customer "Preferred language" field already exists
  (CustomerDetailPage) plus the business-profile default; updated the helper
  text to note billing emails now honor it too. (#761)
