v18.5.0: Supplier confirmations, invoice overruns and a background services list.

This release adds supplier features to procurement and makes the platform lighter to run. Orders can record the supplier's confirmation and allow a stated overrun on invoices, and a supplier card shows whether the firm is still qualified. A Background services button lists what the platform keeps loaded, and semantic search stays off until an administrator turns it on.
