refactor(hig): hero icons, link buttons, spacing sweep (#993)

* refactor(hero-icons): SF Symbols hierarchical rendering with Dynamic Type largeTitle

* refactor(buttons): tertiary actions use .link / .borderless instead of .plain + manual tint

* refactor(spacing): sweep 5pt-grid magic numbers (5, 14) to 8pt-grid (4, 6, 12); add cancelAction to ConnectionForm Cancel button

* docs(changelog): note HIG phase 5 polish

 ### Changed
 
+- HIG polish (phase 5): nine hero icons (empty / success / error / Pro feature gate states across Onboarding, Feedback, Export Success, Import Success, Import Error, Query Success, Main editor empty state) move from hardcoded `.system(size: 40-64)` to a Dynamic-Type-aware combination of `.font(.largeTitle).imageScale(.large).symbolRenderingMode(.hierarchical)`, so they scale with the user's accessibility text-size setting and gain the canonical SF Symbols depth treatment. Five `.plain`-button-as-link callsites (Fetch All in the status bar, Show All / Hide All in the column visibility popover, Skip in onboarding, Close in the feedback success state) move to `.buttonStyle(.link)` or `.borderless`. Spacing sweep across 8 files normalises 5pt-grid magic numbers (`spacing: 5`, `spacing: 14`, `padding(.horizontal, 5)`) onto Apple's 8pt grid (`spacing: 4`, `spacing: 12`, `padding(.horizontal, 6)`). The Connection Form's Cancel button gains `.keyboardShortcut(.cancelAction)` so Esc dismisses correctly.
 - HIG list & window cleanup (phase 4): three small refactors that align inline list affordances with the rest of the codebase. `SlowQueryListView` (the collapsible "Slow Queries" panel in the Server Dashboard) drops a hand-rolled `Button { chevron }` + `ScrollView` + `LazyVStack` and uses a real `DisclosureGroup` + `List`, so VoiceOver gets the disclosure semantics and keyboard handling for free, and the orange-on-red error pill in its header switches to the warning-triangle convention introduced in phase 3. `ColumnVisibilityPopover` (the column show/hide popover) replaces its `ScrollView` + `LazyVStack` with a native `List`, gaining row hover, separators, and the standard list keyboard-navigation it was missing; the "Show All" / "Hide All" buttons in its header switch from `.plain` + manual accent foreground to `.buttonStyle(.link)`. `JSONViewerWindowController` deletes its hand-coded UserDefaults size persistence and uses the `NSWindow.applyAutosaveName` helper that every other imperative window in the project already uses; window position is now remembered too, not just size.
 - HIG pattern refactors (phase 3): five callsites migrate off bespoke implementations onto native primitives. `ResultTabBar` (the `.plain`-button strip in the results pane) gains hover states, accent-tint selection, and a `.bar` material background that matches macOS Sequoia inline tab patterns. `ConnectionSwitcherPopover` drops its manual `selectedIndex: Int` plus per-row `isHighlighted` color flipping and uses native `List(selection:)` for keyboard navigation, focus chrome, and scroll-into-view. The Welcome window's `+` and "new group" buttons replace a custom `@State isHovering` background with `.buttonStyle(.bordered).controlSize(.large)`. Eight inline form validation banners (URL parsing, plugin install, pgpass permissions, jump-host test, license activation, etc.) move from raw `.foregroundStyle(.systemRed)` text to a semantic `Label("...", systemImage: "exclamationmark.triangle.fill").foregroundStyle(.systemOrange)` pattern matching Apple's form-warning convention. Four sheets (Create Database, Create Tag, Export Options, Pagination Settings popover) are rebuilt on `Form { Section { ... } }.formStyle(.grouped)` with `LabeledContent` rows instead of hand-laid `VStack` + caption-styled labels + `roundedBorder` TextFields.
 - HIG component extraction (phase 2): introduces three reusable components — `TypeBadge`, `ProBadge`, and `ColorPaletteView` — replacing five duplicated open-coded variants across the UI. The column-type pill (previously hand-written in three places with hardcoded 9pt fonts and no accessibility labels) becomes one Dynamic-Type-aware `TypeBadge` that announces "Type: VARCHAR" to VoiceOver. The "PRO" pill standardises on a Capsule shape with `.caption2.bold()` and a "Pro feature" accessibility label. The connection / tag / group color pickers (three near-duplicate `HStack`-of-circles) collapse into one `ColorPaletteView` with `.compact` and `.regular` size variants. The toolbar `TagBadgeView` switches to a saturated tint background with white text for proper Increase Contrast support, replacing the same-hue text + 0.2-opacity-fill pattern that failed AA contrast for several preset tags.
