feat(auth): add role-based access control for dashboard

Implement admin, moderator, and user roles with permissions for dashboard access, libraries, and extensions. Added database schema fields for user roles and bans, integrated Better Auth admin plugin, and created TRPC middleware for permission checks. Updated client-side auth to support role-based features.
