fix(contracts): enforce CEI in withdraw and cancel_stream to eliminate reentrancy surface (#789)

Both `withdraw` and `cancel_stream` previously executed token transfers before
persisting stream state, violating Checks-Effects-Interactions. A token contract
with a transfer hook could re-enter either function while storage still held the
pre-update state, enabling a double payout.

Changes:
- Rename `transfer_and_update_stream` → `apply_withdrawal`, which now follows
  CEI: update stream fields → save_stream (effects committed) → token transfer.
- `withdraw` delegates to `apply_withdrawal`; the separate `save_stream` call is
  removed since persistence is now handled inside the helper.
- `cancel_stream` is restructured so all state mutations and `save_stream` happen
  before either token transfer (recipient payout + sender refund).
- Two regression tests added: one for `withdraw` and one for `cancel_stream`,
  each asserting that a second call at the same timestamp fails because committed
  state already reflects the first operation.

Closes #789
