Accept the prototype terms

Accept the terms that every request starting work needs: renders, commands, plans, arrangements, uploads and checkout. Send the version from `currentTerms` in GET /v1/account; an invited account becomes active. The terms are on https://map.audio/music, where you can also accept them signed in. Free.

Auth: `Authorization: Bearer` with an API key or a map.audio access token. MCP tool: `accept_terms`.

## Body
