Split discontinuance CTA into two options based on revenue

When user selects "cancel registration" in the compliance checker:
- Option 1: "499-A Discontinuance (incl. zero-revenue filing)" $299
  For carriers with no revenue — includes final zero-revenue 499-A
  + deactivation letter + CORES update
- Option 2: "499-A Filing + Discontinuance" $798 ($499+$299)
  For carriers with actual revenue — full 499-A filed separately
  + deactivation process

Standalone discontinuance ($299) is for carriers already current
on filings who just want to close out.

Handler detects whether zero-revenue filing is included vs
handled by a separate full 499-A order.
