feat: Add configurable default post sort order

AZAA · AZAA · commit 05138790521d · 2026-02-17T22:20:17.000+01:00
Add an admin setting in General Settings to configure the default post
sort order (Trending, Most Wanted, Recent, Most Discussed).

Previously the frontend always fell back to "trending" regardless of
any server-side configuration. Now it reads the tenant's defaultSort
setting both server-side (in the handler) and client-side (in the
PostsContainer component).

Includes database migration to add default_sort column to tenants table.
