perf: optimize DB layer with caching and pool tuning

- Add Redis cache wrapper (cached-db.ts) — cachedQuery + invalidate helpers
- Add cached login user lookup (auth.ts: getLoginUser) — short 15s TTL
  for brute-force protection, cache invalidation on password/rank changes
- Switch auth.ts login flow from Prisma facade to raw SQL via db.execute
  (avoids abstraction overhead for this hot path)
- Cache invalidation wired in: login password upgrade, updateUser, resetPassword
- Connection pool tuning: enableKeepAlive, namedPlaceholders,
  prepared statement cache (Node 22+), multipleStatements off (SQLi hardening)
- 0 tsc errors, 583 tests passing
