/pricing renders "£7" and "£70" as static copy, but checkout sniffed
CF-IPCountry / Accept-Language and passed a matching currency, so Stripe
picked a currency_options rate. A US visitor was shown £7 and charged
$9.99; a German one was charged €7. The page's "Prices in GBP" line was
therefore untrue, and "two months free" only held in GBP and USD (the
EUR annual is €80 against €84, a 4.8% saving).
Displaying one price and billing another is what the UK CPRs and the EU
price-indication rules prohibit, so drop the currency selection rather
than patch the disclosure. Removes _sniff_currency and its country and
locale tables, the currency field on CheckoutRequest, and the now-unused
request parameter.
The currency_options configured on the live Prices are left in place but
unused. Reinstating geo-pricing requires making /pricing currency-aware
first — copy, buttons and the currency-specific saving claim.
