Ludy 56f788957a feat(admin): add H2 database backup & restore management to admin UI (#5528)
# Description of Changes

This PR introduces comprehensive database backup and restore management
for embedded H2 databases directly within the admin UI, along with a
corrected backend condition for H2 detection.

### What was changed
- Fixed `H2SQLCondition` logic so embedded H2 is correctly detected when
custom databases are disabled.
- Updated and expanded unit tests to reflect the corrected H2 enablement
behavior.
- Added a new **Backups & Restore** section to the Admin Database
settings UI.
- Implemented UI features to:
  - Create H2 database backups
  - List available backup files with metadata
  - Download, import, and delete existing backups
- Upload and import `.sql` backup files with a confirmation code safety
step
- Added a new frontend service (`databaseManagementService`) to
encapsulate database management API calls.
- Extended English (en-GB) translations for all new database backup and
restore UI elements.

### Why the change was made
- Embedded H2 is the default database when no custom database is
configured, but this was not consistently reflected in backend
conditions.
- Administrators need a safe, UI-driven way to manage H2 backups without
manual filesystem access.
- The new UI improves operability, safety (confirmation code on import),
and transparency (version and status badges).
