fix: support postgressql access via docker exec when psql client not installed

[lakshmimsft]

Description

This pull request updates development tooling for PostgreSQL by enhancing the logic for detecting and interacting with PostgreSQL, whether running locally or in Docker. It also refactors and consolidates database initialization and cleanup routines. The changes ensure that both the start-radius.sh and stop-radius.sh scripts, as well as the Makefile prerequisites check, can handle setups where either the psql client or a Dockerized PostgreSQL instance is present.

Type of change

• This pull request is a minor refactor, code cleanup, test improvement, or other maintenance task and doesn't change the functionality of Radius (issue link optional).

Pull request overview

Updates the Radius debug/development tooling to work when the local psql client is missing by falling back to docker exec against a running radius-postgres container, and refactors DB init/cleanup logic to be more centralized.

Changes:

• Add docker exec fallback paths for PostgreSQL command execution in start-radius.sh and stop-radius.sh.
• Refactor start-radius.sh DB initialization into a reusable init_db_tables helper.
• Relax debug-check-prereqs to accept Dockerized PostgreSQL when psql is not installed.
