refactor(arch): use CustomerContext schema for dependency injection

Phase 5 of storefront restructure plan - fix direct model imports in
API routes by using schemas for dependency injection.

Created CustomerContext schema:
- Lightweight Pydantic model for customer data in API routes
- Populated from Customer DB model in auth dependency
- Contains all fields needed by storefront routes
- Includes from_db_model() factory method

Updated app/api/deps.py:
- _validate_customer_token now returns CustomerContext instead of Customer
- Updated docstrings for all customer auth functions

Updated module storefront routes:
- customers: Uses CustomerContext for profile/address endpoints
- orders: Uses CustomerContext for order history endpoints
- checkout: Uses CustomerContext for order placement
- messaging: Uses CustomerContext for messaging endpoints

This enforces the layered architecture (Routes → Services → Models)
by ensuring API routes never import database models directly.
