Hide guides overlay and clean up barcode placeholder in cover PDF

Guides (trim/safe-zone/spine lines) are design references only and
must not appear in the submitted PDF — hidden via display:none.
Barcode placeholder is now an empty white box so KDP can place the
ISBN barcode automatically without printing a label.
