Create Boost

Boost your own post: mint a Lightning invoice for the chosen tier.

Pay the returned payment_request, then poll GET /posts/{post_id}/boost/{id}. Owner-only; idempotent within the pending-invoice window (a retry returns the same invoice). Returns 503 while sponsored posts are disabled.
