refactor(db): use shared pooled DatabaseClient singleton instead of per-call instances

- Replace get_db_client() creating new DatabaseClient on every call with a
  module-level singleton initialized once at startup via init_db_client()
- Add init_db_client() and close_db_client() lifecycle functions called
  from FastAPI lifespan handler
- Migrate all DatabaseClient methods from legacy self.connect()/self.conn
  to pooled self.get_conn() context manager for thread-safe connection reuse
- Pool is properly torn down on application shutdown

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#7
