25 adjust project create modal to be consistent with project settings page

[martian56]

This pull request introduces significant enhancements to project creation and configuration, both in the backend and frontend. The main updates expand the project creation API and UI to support additional metadata and settings, such as description, cover image, emoji, icon, project lead, and network visibility. The UI now provides a more flexible and feature-rich modal for creating projects, and the backend ensures these new fields are handled consistently. Additionally, a unique database index is added to prevent duplicate user favorites.

Backend enhancements to project creation and metadata:

• The CreateProjectRequest API and the ProjectHandler.Create handler now accept and process new optional fields: description, timezone, cover_image, emoji, icon_prop, project_lead_id, default_assignee_id, and several feature toggles (such as guest access and module/cycle/page views). These fields are immediately applied during project creation using the same logic as the update flow, ensuring consistency. [1] [2] [3]

• A unique index (idx_user_fav_entity) is added to the user_favorites table to prevent users from favoriting the same entity multiple times.

Frontend improvements to project creation UI:

• The CreateProjectModal now supports selecting a cover image, project icon (emoji or custom icon), project lead, and network visibility (public/private). The modal has been redesigned for better usability, including new components for selecting project lead and network. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

• Two new reusable components, ProjectLeadSelect and ProjectNetworkSelect, are introduced for selecting the project lead from workspace members and toggling project visibility, respectively. [1] [2]

Settings page updates:

• The Settings page now correctly reflects the persisted network visibility of a project by deriving the dropdown value from the backend field. [1] [2]

Closes #25
