Add a new component that automates DBLab full refresh using temporary
RDS/Aurora database clones created from snapshots. This enables a
hassle-free data sync workflow that doesn't impact production.

Features:
- Create temporary RDS/Aurora clones from latest automated snapshots
- Wait for clone availability with proper timeout handling
- Trigger DBLab full refresh via API
- Poll refresh status until completion
- Clean up temporary clones automatically

Deployment options:
- AWS Lambda with SAM template and EventBridge scheduling
- Standalone CLI binary for cron/manual execution
- Docker container for containerized environments

Includes comprehensive documentation with IAM policy examples
and example configuration files.
Add a fully standalone version of the RDS/Aurora refresh tool that can
be built and deployed immediately without requiring a DBLab Engine
release. This version has no dependencies on DBLab internal packages.

The standalone component includes:
- Self-contained Go module with minimal dependencies
- Makefile for easy building (CLI, Lambda, Docker)
- SAM template for AWS Lambda deployment
- Dockerfile for container builds
- Comprehensive documentation

Can be used immediately by:
1. go build -o rds-refresh .
2. ./rds-refresh -config config.yaml
- Add UpdateSourceConfig method to update DBLab source connection
  before triggering refresh, ensuring DBLab knows the clone endpoint
- Add source database credentials (dbName, username, password) to
  config for DBLab connection configuration
- Remove Lambda-specific code, focusing on container/CLI deployment
  which better suits the long-running nature of refresh operations
- Remove duplicate engine-integrated code (engine/internal/rdsrefresh
  and engine/cmd/rds-refresh) since standalone component is preferred
- Update documentation with container deployment options (Docker,
  ECS Task, Kubernetes CronJob, CLI with cron)
- Update workflow to include config update step before refresh trigger
DBLab expects a flat JSON structure matching ConfigProjection fields,
not a nested structure. The API automatically reloads the config after
update (calls reloadFn internally), so no SIGHUP is needed.

Changed from nested:
  {"retrieval": {"dbSource": {"host": "..."}}}

To flat projection format:
  {"host": "...", "port": 5432, "dbname": "...", ...}
