Deleted patientFormPdfTemplate

- PatientFormPdfTemplateResponse: A client-uploaded PDF template for the standalone PDF form-builder feature: a PDF is uploaded, fields are placed on it via drag-and-drop, and the result is saved so it can later be filled out to produce a completed PDF. Despite the similar name, this is unrelated to PatientFormTemplate, which drives the existing question-based patient intake forms.
  - `_id` string: Luma's internal ID of an object.
  - `user` string: The ID of the root account user.
  - `deleted` 0 | 1: Flag for logical deletion where 1 means deleted.
  - `createdBy` string: The ID of the user who created this object.
  - `updatedBy` string: The ID of the user who updated this object.
  - `createdAt` string, date-time: The date/time when this object was created.
  - `updatedAt` string, date-time: The date/time when this object was updated.
  - `name` string: name of the pdf form template
  - `fileUpload` string: ID of the uploaded source PDF this template's fields are positioned against
  - `pages` integer: number of pages in the source PDF
  - `fields` object[]: fields placed on the source PDF
    - `page` integer, required: 0-indexed page number within the source PDF this field is placed on
    - `type` 'text' | 'paragraph-text' | 'signature' | 'checkbox' | 'date' | 'number' | 'initials', required: type of the pdf form template field
    - `x` number, required: fraction (0-1) of the page width, measured from the left edge
    - `y` number, required: fraction (0-1) of the page height, measured from the top edge
    - `width` number, required: fraction (0-1) of the page width
    - `height` number, required: fraction (0-1) of the page height
    - `mappingField` string: when set, this field auto-fills from the matching PatientFormMappingFields concept instead of being filled in manually
    - `label` string: custom field label, used for manual fill when mappingField is not set
    - `placeholderText` string: patient-facing guidance text shown inside the field, distinct from the internal label
    - `required` boolean: whether the patient must fill this field in before submitting
    - `readOnly` boolean: whether this field is rendered read-only (auto-filled/informational, not editable by the patient) at fill-time
    - `defaultValue` string: default value pre-filled for this field, regardless of type
    - `minLength` integer: minimum number of characters accepted. Only meaningful for the text field types (text, paragraph-text)
    - `maxLength` integer: maximum number of characters accepted. Only meaningful for the text field types (text, paragraph-text)
    - `minValue` number: minimum numeric value accepted. Only meaningful when type is number
    - `maxValue` number: maximum numeric value accepted. Only meaningful when type is number
    - `dateRange` 'any' | 'future' | 'past': restricts which dates are accepted. Only meaningful when type is date
    - `textAlign` 'left' | 'center' | 'right': horizontal alignment of the text drawn into this field. Ignored by checkbox, which draws a mark rather than text. Treated as left when omitted
    - `fontSize` number: point size of the text drawn into this field. Ignored by checkbox; when omitted the renderer's own default size is used
    - `tags` string[]: free-form labels staff attach to a field for their own organization. Purely descriptive - never rendered in the fill UI or the produced PDF
