fix(content): never charge for a file the seller can't serve or replay a spent token

After the keyset-id fix, a Minibits paid download still failed and the
buyer lost the sats. What happened, 2026-09-29, amishparadise:

1. The seller redeemed the token, then failed to read the file. It was a
   FileBrowser upload owned by the container subuid (100999) with mode
   0640. The handler mapped that Err to 404.
2. The buyer's FIPS dial treats 404 as "fall back to Tor" and resent the
   request with the same, now spent, token. The seller answered 402, and
   the buyer showed "seller doesn't accept your Cashu mint".

Fixes:
- serve_content checks the file is readable before the paid gate. If it
  isn't, it grants read with `podman unshare chmod a+r`, which matches
  the other shared files. If that also fails it returns Unavailable (503)
  without taking payment.
- The content handler returns 500 on internal errors and logs them,
  instead of a silent 404.
- New PeerRequest::single_delivery(), used for the paid download: the
  FIPS answer is final, FIPS retries only when it never connected, and
  there's no Tor replay once the request may have been delivered.
- The buyer shows the seller's error text for non-402 failures.
