fix(execution): drop the unreachable billing-account admission code

A workspace without a billing account fails inside payer resolution and takes the retryable attribution-error path; the branch that tagged BILLING_ACCOUNT_REQUIRED only ran for an attribution with no actor, which system attribution never produces. The branch goes back to its staging form and the deterministic set keeps the usage limit and suspended accounts.
