- when importing members via CSV, it's now possible to add the value "auto" for the "stripe_customer_id" field. When this option is passed, the importer will search for a Stripe customer based on the email address provided
- if there are multiple Stripe customers with the same email address, the customer with the most recent subscription is returned
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/16057
Briefly, Ghost created two Customer objects via the Stripe API when an
existing subscriber would upgrade to a paid subscription, one in an API
call to create the Customer and then a second as a side effect of an API
call to create a Checkout session for the user. The fix is passing the
reference to the Customer object to the API call to create the Checkout
session; Stripe will no longer redundantly create a Customer object in
this case.
This largely impacts the owner's experience of the Stripe Dashboard; it
will correct their new Customer count (going forward) and make searches
for users by name or email address return one responsive object which
has the actual subscription in it versus returning two and forcing them
to look in each to e.g. refund a transaction or similar.

We no longer restart the Members service based on the Stripe service
being updated, which meant that if it was initially configured with
missing URL's and later Stripe connected, it would not get the new
config until a server restart. This moves the last of Stripe config into
the Stripe service, so that all things concerning Stripe can be handled
in one place and updated together.
