feat: add checkoutUrl field to payment collection

- Add checkoutUrl field to Payment type and collection
- Mollie provider now sets checkoutUrl from _links.checkout.href
- Test provider sets checkoutUrl to interactive payment UI
- Stripe provider doesn't use checkoutUrl (uses client_secret instead)
- Update README with checkoutUrl examples and clarifications
- Make it easier to redirect users to payment pages
