fix: handle missing DB_USER/DB_PASS with actionable error and fix Dockerfile port

- Add try/except around DB_USER/DB_PASS config with clear FATAL message
  explaining these are for API auth, not database connectivity
- Set DB_USER/DB_PASS defaults in test conftest so main.py imports cleanly
- Fix test_dev_mode_bypasses_auth by patching oauth2_scheme.auto_error
  (evaluated at import time, not affected by patching main.DEV)
- Add TestDbCredentialsRequired tests verifying sys.exit and error message
- Change Dockerfile EXPOSE default from 3100 to 3000 to match app
