Deluan Quintão 5526d76129 refactor(conf): replace eager dir creation with lazy Dir type (#5495)
* feat(conf): add Dir type with lazy directory creation

Introduces the Dir type that wraps a directory path string and defers
os.MkdirAll until the first call to Path() or MustPath(), using sync.Once
to ensure the creation happens exactly once. Implements fmt.Stringer,
encoding.TextMarshaler, and encoding.TextUnmarshaler for config integration.
Includes Ginkgo/Gomega tests covering all methods and error paths.

* refactor(conf): replace eager dir creation with lazy Dir type

Change DataFolder, CacheFolder, Plugins.Folder, and Backup.Path from
string to Dir. Remove all os.MkdirAll calls from Load() so directories
are created lazily on first Path()/MustPath() call. Artwork folder
creation was already handled at point-of-use in image_upload.go.

Add SnapshotConfig() to conf package for safe test config save/restore
that avoids copying sync.Once inside Dir fields. Fix copy-lock vet
warning in nativeapi/config.go by marshalling pointer instead of value.

* refactor(conf): migrate tests and db init to lazy Dir type

Update all test files to use conf.NewDir() for Dir field assignments.
Ensure DataFolder is created lazily when the database is first opened
in db.Db(). Remove eager directory creation from conf.Load() tests.

* fix(conf): address review findings for Dir type

- Use os.ModePerm for DataFolder/CacheFolder (was 0700, should match
  original behavior). Add NewDirWithPerm for PluginsFolder (0700).
- Use Path() instead of MustPath() in db.Prune() to avoid logFatal
  from background cron job.
- Panic on marshal/unmarshal errors in SnapshotConfig (test helper).
- Clean up redundant String()/MustPath() calls in plugin manager.
- Remove dead code in dir_test.go.

* fix(conf): add GoString to Dir for clean config dump output

Implement fmt.GoStringer on Dir so pretty.Sprintf shows the path
string instead of internal struct fields (sync.Once, perm, err).
Also add TODO comment to configtest about removing the indirection.

* fix(dir): improve error logging in MustPath method

* refactor(tests): remove redundant tests for unwritable DataFolder and CacheFolder

* fix(conf): address PR review feedback

- Ensure Plugins.Folder always uses 0700, even when user-configured
  (previously only the derived default got restrictive permissions).
- Create LogFile parent directory before opening, so LogFile paths
  inside a not-yet-created DataFolder work correctly.
