fix: Use View::file() to render sticker template directly, add missing test route, and allow GET for regenerate

- Changed from View::make() to View::file() with full path resolution
- Added file existence check with detailed error logging
- Allow GET/POST for regenerate sticker endpoint for easier testing
- Add design name and customer surname to A6 PDF stickers
- Add regenerate sticker endpoint POST /test/sticker/{orderNumber}/regenerate
- Add test sticker preview page at /test/sticker/{orderNumber}
