feat: add Day Care & Emergency admission module with IPD conversion and clean patient names

- Add Day Care (<24h) and Emergency (Casualty) admission pathways with prefixes DC- and ER-
- Add dedicated physical wards, ESI 5-level triage, MLC tracking, and PADSS day care discharge
- Implement audited 'Convert to IPD' workflow with SBAR handover and automated bed transfer
- Support unified IPD billing with dedicated group headers for Day Care and Emergency charges
- Redesign Hospital Admission Desk with executive card layout and modern triage controls
- Add comprehensive user documentation and SVG flowchart in public/help.html
- Completely remove legacy patient_master.p_lname column from database and application code

+                <p>NABH standards require structured clinical communication during patient transfers across care settings. The conversion modal enforces the SBAR format:</p>

+
+                <h3>5. Unified IPD Billing with Distinct Group Headers</h3>
+                <p>A core financial requirement of hospital operations is that when a patient converts from Day Care or Casualty to full IPD, <strong>no billing charges are lost or split into fragmented invoices</strong>. The entire financial account is unified under the Inpatient admission.</p>
+                <ul>
+                    <li>All prior medications, dressings, doctor consultations, lab tests, and procedures delivered in the Emergency room remain intact under <code>EMERGENCY / CASUALTY CHARGES</code>.</li>
+                    <li>All surgical consumables, daycare room charges, and anesthesia charges delivered in the Day Care unit remain intact under <code>DAY CARE CHARGES</code>.</li>
+                    <li>Subsequent inpatient charges (Room Bed charges, ICU monitoring, Nursing care, Inpatient pharmacy) accumulate under standard IPD item types.</li>
+                    <li><strong>Final IPD Bill Print:</strong> The final discharge invoice organizes and prints these charges under clearly demarcated sub-headings with line-item rates, quantities, taxes, and category subtotals:
