cleanup: validation and integrations for importing data

This commit introduces major enhancements to the module installation system,
database management, and configuration handling for AzerothCore deployments.

## Module System Improvements

### Module SQL Staging & Installation
- Refactor module SQL staging to properly handle AzerothCore's sql/ directory structure
- Fix SQL staging path to use correct AzerothCore format (sql/custom/db_*/*)
- Implement conditional module database importing based on enabled modules
- Add support for both cpp-modules and lua-scripts module types
- Handle rsync exit code 23 (permission warnings) gracefully during deployment

### Module Manifest & Automation
- Add automated module manifest generation via GitHub Actions workflow
- Implement Python-based module manifest updater with comprehensive validation
- Add module dependency tracking and SQL file discovery
- Support for blocked modules and module metadata management

## Database Management Enhancements

### Database Import System
- Add db-guard container for continuous database health monitoring and verification
- Implement conditional database import that skips when databases are current
- Add backup restoration and SQL staging coordination
- Support for Playerbots database (4th database) in all import operations
- Add comprehensive database health checking and status reporting

### Database Configuration
- Implement 10 new dbimport.conf settings from environment variables:
  - Database.Reconnect.Seconds/Attempts for connection reliability
  - Updates.AllowedModules for module auto-update control
  - Updates.Redundancy for data integrity checks
  - Worker/Synch thread settings for all three core databases
- Auto-apply dbimport.conf settings via auto-post-install.sh
- Add environment variable injection for db-import and db-guard containers

### Backup & Recovery
- Fix backup scheduler to prevent immediate execution on container startup
- Add backup status monitoring script with detailed reporting
- Implement backup import/export utilities
- Add database verification scripts for SQL update tracking

## User Import Directory

- Add new import/ directory for user-provided database files and configurations
- Support for custom SQL files, configuration overrides, and example templates
- Automatic import of user-provided databases and configs during initialization
- Documentation and examples for custom database imports

## Configuration & Environment

- Eliminate CLIENT_DATA_VERSION warning by adding default value syntax
- Improve CLIENT_DATA_VERSION documentation in .env.template
- Add comprehensive database import settings to .env and .env.template
- Update setup.sh to handle new configuration variables with proper defaults

## Monitoring & Debugging

- Add status dashboard with Go-based terminal UI (statusdash.go)
- Implement JSON status output (statusjson.sh) for programmatic access
- Add comprehensive database health check script
- Add repair-storage-permissions.sh utility for permission issues

## Testing & Documentation

- Add Phase 1 integration test suite for module installation verification
- Add comprehensive documentation for:
  - Database management (DATABASE_MANAGEMENT.md)
  - Module SQL analysis (AZEROTHCORE_MODULE_SQL_ANALYSIS.md)
  - Implementation mapping (IMPLEMENTATION_MAP.md)
  - SQL staging comparison and path coverage
  - Module assets and DBC file requirements
- Update SCRIPTS.md, ADVANCED.md, and troubleshooting documentation
- Update references from database-import/ to import/ directory

## Breaking Changes

- Renamed database-import/ directory to import/ for clarity
- Module SQL files now staged to AzerothCore-compatible paths
- db-guard container now required for proper database lifecycle management

## Bug Fixes

- Fix module SQL staging directory structure for AzerothCore compatibility
- Handle rsync exit code 23 gracefully during deployments
- Prevent backup from running immediately on container startup
- Correct SQL staging paths for proper module installation

+# Database Import
+
+> **📌 Note:** This directory is maintained for backward compatibility.
+> **New location:** `import/db/` - See [import/README.md](../import/README.md) for the new unified import system.
+
+Place your database backup files here for automatic import during deployment.
+
+## Supported Imports
+- `.sql` files (uncompressed SQL dumps)
+- `.sql.gz` files (gzip compressed SQL dumps)
+- **Full backup directories** (e.g., `ExportBackup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/` containing multiple dumps)
+- **Full backup archives** (`.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tgz`, `.zip`) that contain the files above
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Copy your backup files here:**
+   ```bash
+   cp my_auth_backup.sql.gz ./database-import/
+   cp my_world_backup.sql.gz ./database-import/
+   cp my_characters_backup.sql.gz ./database-import/
+   # or drop an entire ExportBackup folder / archive
+   cp -r ExportBackup_20241029_120000 ./database-import/
+   cp ExportBackup_20241029_120000.tar.gz ./database-import/
+   ```
+
+2. **Run deployment:**
+   ```bash
+   ./deploy.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Files are automatically copied to backup system** and imported during deployment
+
+## File Naming
+- Any filename works - the system will auto-detect database type by content
+- Recommended naming: `auth.sql.gz`, `world.sql.gz`, `characters.sql.gz`
+- Full backups keep their original directory/archive name so you can track multiple copies
+
+## What Happens
+- Individual `.sql`/`.sql.gz` files are copied to `storage/backups/daily/` with a timestamped name
+- Full backup directories or archives are staged directly under `storage/backups/` (e.g., `storage/backups/ExportBackup_20241029_120000/`)
+- Database import system automatically restores the most recent matching backup
+- Original files remain here for reference (archives are left untouched)
+
+## Notes
+- Only processed on first deployment (when databases don't exist)
+- Files/directories are copied once; existing restored databases will skip import
+- Empty folder is ignored - no files, no import

-Usage: ./update-latest.sh [--force] [--help] [deploy args...]

-  --skip-build   Do not run ./build.sh after updating
-  --deploy       Auto-run ./deploy.sh after build (non-interactive)
-  --help         Show this help
-
-Examples:
-  ./update-latest.sh --yes --no-watch
-  ./update-latest.sh --deploy --yes --no-watch
-  ./update-latest.sh --force --skip-build
-  ./update-latest.sh --force --deploy --remote --remote-host my.host --remote-user sam --yes
