Retire family/child Stripe tier; reframe free tier as 14-day trial

The 18+-only model drops the family/child plan entirely, so its
Stripe wiring is dead code. Remove the /api/family/{invite,members,remove}
routes, the STRIPE_PRICE_FAMILY_CHILD env/state config, the account-page
Family members UI and its dashboard JS, and the "Family accounts" roadmap
bullet. Free/Pro/Founding paths are untouched.

Marketing/pricing copy still promised a permanent free tier, which no
longer matches the product. Reframe the free-forever language as a
14-day free trial across the pricing card, comparison table, hero/SEO
meta, checkout page copy, and the no-ads promise. Prices and checkout
mechanics are unchanged — copy only.
