A community based topic aggregation platform built on atproto

feat(security): Add encryption at rest for PDS credentials

**SECURITY ENHANCEMENT**: Encrypt community PDS access/refresh tokens
in PostgreSQL using pgcrypto extension.

**IMPLEMENTATION**:

1. **Migration 006**:
- Enable pgcrypto extension
- Create encryption_keys table with single 256-bit key
- Add encrypted BYTEA columns: pds_access_token_encrypted, pds_refresh_token_encrypted
- Generate random encryption key on first run (idempotent)
- Add index for communities with credentials

2. **Repository Layer**:
- Encrypt on INSERT using pgp_sym_encrypt()
- Decrypt on SELECT using pgp_sym_decrypt()
- Inline encryption/decryption (no application-layer crypto)
- Empty strings stored as NULL (skip encryption)

**KEY MANAGEMENT**:
- Single symmetric key stored in encryption_keys table
- Key persists across restarts via PostgreSQL storage
- Future: Support key rotation via rotated_at timestamp

**TRADE-OFFS**:
- Performance: Inline crypto adds ~1-2ms per query
- Security: Keys stored in same DB (acceptable for self-hosted)
- Simplicity: No external KMS required for initial version

**FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS**:
- External KMS integration (AWS KMS, Vault)
- Key rotation support
- Per-community keys (if needed)
