fix(datetime): standardize Vietnam timezone and business dates

Summary

Standardize date and time handling across the backend using Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh as the business timezone.

Key Changes

  • Introduced centralized business-time utilities using the IANA timezone.
  • Changed Transaction date, Budget startDate/endDate, and Saving Goal targetDate to date-only values.
  • Changed absolute timestamp columns to PostgreSQL TIMESTAMPTZ(3).
  • Made Budget endDate inclusive.
  • Removed client-provided timezone offsets from report APIs.
  • Resolved report boundaries using the Vietnam business timezone.
  • Updated monthly and yearly reminder recurrence to preserve Vietnam wall-clock time.
  • Made token expiration independent of the server timezone.
  • Updated notification, AI context, seed data, and Swagger contracts.

API Changes

  • Business dates now use YYYY-MM-DD.
  • Report requests no longer accept timezoneOffsetMinutes.
  • Report responses include timeZone: "Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh".
  • Absolute datetimes continue using offset-aware ISO 8601 timestamps.

Database

Applied migration:

20260816090000_standardize_business_time

The migration:

  • Converts business calendar fields to PostgreSQL DATE.
  • Converts absolute timestamps to TIMESTAMPTZ(3).
  • Preserves existing dates according to Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh.
