chore: ignore bin/ directory to prevent repository bloat

- Added WorkDir to Config for custom temp directory
- TUI Settings: new 'Work Directory' option to set alternative temp location
- Restore Preview: press 'w' to toggle work directory (uses backup dir as default)
- Diagnose View: now uses configured WorkDir for cluster extraction
- Config persistence: WorkDir saved to .dbbackup.conf

This fixes diagnosis/restore failures when /tmp is too small for large archives.
Use cases: servers with limited /tmp, 70GB+ archives needing 280GB+ extraction space.

-## 🎉 Major Features
-
-### Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)
-Complete PostgreSQL Point-in-Time Recovery implementation:
-
-- **WAL Archiving**: Continuous archiving of Write-Ahead Log files
-- **WAL Monitoring**: Real-time monitoring of archive status and statistics
-- **Timeline Management**: Track and visualize PostgreSQL timeline branching
-- **Recovery Targets**: Restore to any point in time:
-  - Specific timestamp (`--target-time "2024-11-26 12:00:00"`)
-  - Transaction ID (`--target-xid 1000000`)
-  - Log Sequence Number (`--target-lsn "0/3000000"`)
-  - Named restore point (`--target-name before_migration`)
-  - Earliest consistent point (`--target-immediate`)
-- **Version Support**: Both PostgreSQL 12+ (modern) and legacy formats
-- **Recovery Actions**: Promote to primary, pause for inspection, or shutdown
-- **Comprehensive Testing**: 700+ lines of tests with 100% pass rate
