Fix Duplicate Customer Notification Sent When Assigned Technician Is Removed

- Refactored processBookingCancellation to simplify parameters and remove redundant notification arguments.
- Added util::UserType parameter to differentiate cancellation flows for CUSTOMER vs TECHNICIAN.
- Updated cancelCustomerServiceBookings to use processBookingCancellation with util::UserType::CUSTOMER.
- Updated cancelTechnicianJobs to use processBookingCancellation with util::UserType::TECHNICIAN.
- Enhanced booking status handling by including IN_PROGRESS status in cancellation checks.
- Ensured job cards are consistently marked CANCELLED and inventory restored.
- Fixed duplicate notification issue where customers received multiple alerts when technician was removed.
