feat: Add payment methods extraction, OCR improvements, and AutoComplete fix

Backend:
- Add payment_methods and payment_mode fields to Receipt model
- Add payment method extraction (CARD/NUMERAR) with auto-suggestion logic
- Improve OCR service with TVA validation and reverse calculation
- Fix nomenclature service supplier limit (was 50, now unlimited)
- Add OCR fields migrations (ocr_raw_text, ocr_confidence, payment_mode)

Frontend:
- Fix AutoComplete to properly display supplier name after OCR
- Add payment methods display in OCR preview with suggested payment mode
- Improve ReceiptCreateView form handling and OCR data application

Database migrations:
- 20251215_add_ocr_fields_to_receipt.py
- 20251215_remove_partner_id.py
- 20251216_add_payment_mode.py
