refactor(profiles): replace large-db profile with composable LargeDBMode

BREAKING CHANGE: Removed 'large-db' as standalone profile

New Design:
- Resource Profiles now purely represent VM capacity:
  conservative, balanced, performance, max-performance
- LargeDBMode is a separate boolean toggle that modifies any profile:
  - Reduces ClusterParallelism and Jobs by 50%
  - Forces MaxLocksPerTxn = 8192
  - Increases MaintenanceWorkMem

TUI Changes:
- 'l' key now toggles LargeDBMode ON/OFF instead of applying large-db profile
- New 'Large DB Mode' setting in settings menu
- Settings are persisted to .dbbackup.conf

This allows any resource profile to be combined with large database
optimization, giving users more flexibility on both small and large VMs.

+**Resource Profiles for Large Databases:**
+
+When restoring large databases on VMs with limited resources, use the resource profile settings to prevent "out of shared memory" errors:
+
+| Profile | Cluster Parallel | Jobs | Best For |
+|---------|------------------|------|----------|
+| conservative | 1 | 1 | Small VMs (<16GB RAM) |
+| balanced | 2 | 2-4 | Medium VMs (16-32GB RAM) |
+| performance | 4 | 4-8 | Large servers (32GB+ RAM) |
+| max-performance | 8 | 8-16 | High-end servers (64GB+) |
+
+**Large DB Mode:** Toggle with `l` key. Reduces parallelism by 50% and sets max_locks_per_transaction=8192 for complex databases with many tables/LOBs.
+
+**Quick shortcuts:** Press `l` to toggle Large DB Mode, `c` for conservative, `p` to show recommendation.
+
 **Database Status:**
