feat: Add real-time notification center with WebSocket integration

- Add in-app notification system with database storage
- Implement bell icon component with unread count badge in dashboard header
- Add full Notifications page tab with pagination and filtering (All/Unread/Read)
- Implement real-time WebSocket push notifications to all connected clients
- Add notification API endpoints: GET, PUT /read, DELETE, POST /clear
- Fix critical bug in notificationService where 'status' variable was undefined
- Add Notifications route to App.js routing
- Enhanced UI with notification popup in header and dedicated full-page view
- Auto-reconnect WebSocket with 5s timeout on disconnect
- Support rich notification content with resource details and timestamps
