fix: cluster restore database detection and TUI error display

- Fixed psql connection for database detection (always use -h flag)
- Use CombinedOutput() to capture stderr for better diagnostics
- Added existingDBError tracking in restore preview
- Show 'Unable to detect' instead of misleading 'None' when listing fails
- Disable cleanup toggle when database detection failed
