feat: migrate PDF417 barcode generation to zxing-wasm/writer

Replace custom PDF417 generation (generateBarcode/renderBarcode) with zxing-wasm's writeBarcode for improved reliability and smaller codebase. Updated all 4 components (BillEditForm, PrintPreview, ViewBillCard, ViewLocationCard) to use new Pdf417BarcodeWasm component with ecLevel 5 for error correction.
