Automatic 4-digit code generation without lock integration

Feature requests

Problem: Currently, Hospitable only generates and sends automatic door codes if a smart lock is integrated. Hosts who manage their locks manually have no way to automatically send a unique or random 4-digit code to guests.

Current Workaround: Hosts must either manually create and send codes or use a fixed 'Custom Code' for all guests, which is a security risk.

Impact: This increases manual workload for hosts and reduces security when using fixed codes.

Proposed Solution: Allow Hospitable to generate a random 4-digit code for each reservation and include it in messages via a shortcode, regardless of whether a lock is integrated.

Unlock: Hosts will be able to automate their check-in process and maintain security without needing a compatible smart lock integration.

    Ideally, the code
    %smartlock_code% should be generated for each reservation irregardless whether there is an integration with smart lock or not. It is just 4 random digits (or last 4 digits of the phone number if available).
