Universal: Auto Version Bump / Version Bump (push) Successful in 10s
feat: content snapshots, restore UI, and config hardening (v01.25.00)
Add content snapshot system for lightweight article/category/module
versioning independent of full backups. Snapshots store as JSON files
with replace or merge restore modes, wrapped in DB transactions.

- SnapshotEngine: dumps articles, categories, modules + related tables
  (workflow_associations, tag maps, frontpage) to JSON
- SnapshotRestoreEngine: replace (clean slate) or merge (upsert) mode
- Full MVC: controller, models, view, template with create/restore modals
- New ACL permission: mokosuitebackup.snapshot.manage
- Submenu entry with camera icon, upgrade SQL for snapshots table

Improve full-site restore UI with confirmation modal offering options
for files, database, preserve config, and encryption password.

Config improvements:
- WebcronSecretField: CSPRNG generator, strength meter, rejects weak
  patterns (password, admin, secret), enforces min 16 chars
- IpWhitelistField: table-based management, current IP detection with
  one-click "Add my IP" button
- Default profile shows "Title (#ID)" format
- Default backup dir uses [DEFAULT_DIR] placeholder
- Install script generates random 32-char webcron secret
- Dashboard quick actions: full-width dropdown with button below
