AssetManager 0.3.8.0 - Central field catalog and MeshCentral GUI configuration

IMPORTANT:

• Stable rollback version before this structural migration: 0.3.7.10
• Create a PostgreSQL/database backup before first start.
• Do not copy .env, config.json, data, uploads or logs from this ZIP.

New database objects:

• field_definitions
• asset_field_values
• mesh_field_mappings (prepared for future database-backed mappings)
• category_fields.field_definition_id

Design:

• System fields remain physical columns in assets.
• User-created fields are type-aware values in asset_field_values. No ALTER TABLE assets is needed.
• Categories only control active/required/show-in-list/sort order.
• Labels, descriptions, types and read-only properties are central.
• MeshCentral connection, sync behavior, update rules and source-path mappings are editable in the web UI.
