fix(restore): drop tables with CASCADE so orphan FKs can't abort restore

Settings -> Backup -> Restore on a Postgres-backed Bambuddy aborted
  with `cannot drop table printers because other objects depend on it`
  when the live DB held orphan tables from removed features. Legacy
  `spoolman_slot_assignments` / `spoolman_k_profile` from an earlier
  Spoolman integration still sat in the schema with `*_printer_id_fkey`
  constraints back to `printers`, so `metadata.drop_all` (which only
  knows about ORM tables, no CASCADE) couldn't drop `printers` and the
  whole restore aborted before any rows landed.

  Replace `metadata.drop_all` with a `pg_tables`-iterating PL/pgSQL DO
  block that DROPs every public-schema table with CASCADE, then call
  `metadata.create_all` to rebuild the schema. CASCADE removes external
  constraints alongside the table, and a "restore" is intentionally
  destructive — the user has explicitly chosen to wipe the DB and
  replace from backup.

  Two regression tests in test_postgres_restore_drop_cascade.py mock
  the Postgres engine, capture the SQL stream, and assert (a) the
  CASCADE+pg_tables iteration is emitted and metadata.drop_all is
  never called, (b) the drop is scoped to public schema so shared
  Postgres setups aren't taken out.

  SQLite restores go through a separate path and are unaffected.

"""Regression test for the Postgres restore drop-tables-with-CASCADE fix.
The bug: the restore path called `metadata.drop_all`, which only drops
tables defined in the SQLAlchemy ORM and emits plain `DROP TABLE` (no
CASCADE). When the live DB carries orphan tables from removed features
(e.g. legacy `spoolman_slot_assignments` whose `_printer_id_fkey`
constraint still references `printers`), Postgres refuses with
`DependentObjectsStillExistError` and the entire restore aborts before
any rows land.
The fix: drop every table in the `public` schema with `CASCADE` via a
`pg_tables`-iterating PL/pgSQL `DO` block, then re-create from the
ORM metadata. CASCADE removes external constraints alongside the table,
so orphan tables can no longer block the restore.
These tests guard against a regression to `metadata.drop_all` (which
would re-introduce the bug for any user with orphan tables).
