Refactor global configuration page and navigation; add media library page; enhance streamer configuration with detailed options

- Removed the global configuration form and redirected to the consolidated settings page.
- Updated the dashboard to provide feedback when no streamers are configured and added edit links for each streamer.
- Introduced a new media library page to display media files from the configured archive root.
- Enhanced the streamer configuration page with additional options for overrides and settings, including a confirmation modal for deletion.
- Updated the layout and styles for improved user experience and navigation.
- Switched from file-based password storage to database-backed user credentials management in AuthService.
- Applied EF migrations on application startup to ensure database schema is up-to-date.
