Mirrors contractpilot #794. Add a startup health check that runs before the Express server starts listening:

Database: run SELECT 1 via the existing pool, log success/failure
Stripe: call stripe.products.list({ limit: 1 }) to verify API key is valid
OpenAI: verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set and non-empty (lightweight check)

If any check fails, log a clear error with the service name but still start the server (don't crash). Add the check in the main server file after middleware setup but before app.listen().

Acceptance: startup logs show check results for all 3 services, server still starts even if a service is down, clear error messages identify which service failed.
