feat(classroom): implement entry prompts system

Teachers can now send entry prompts to parents requesting their child
enter the classroom. Features include:

- Entry prompts API with create, list, and respond endpoints
- Real-time notifications via WebSocket to parents
- Parent can accept (enters child) or decline prompts
- Configurable expiry time per classroom (default 30 min)
- Classroom name editing in settings popover
- Active sessions API returns sessions for all enrolled students
- E2E and unit tests for the complete feature

Also fixes bug where expired prompts could block creating new prompts.
