feat(platform): implement application-layer User model with proper type safety

## Core Changes

### Application Layer Separation
- Create application-layer User model with snake_case convention (created_at, email_verified, etc.)
- Add validation to prevent Prisma objects crossing service boundaries
- Replace all hasattr/getattr defensive coding with proper typing

### HTTP Client Improvements
- Prevent retry of HTTP 4xx client errors (404, 403, 401) which are permanent failures
- Add HTTPClientError and HTTPServerError exception categorization
- Comprehensive test coverage for retry behavior

### LaunchDarkly Integration Fixes
- Fix serialization issues by using proper snake_case application models
- Update feature flag client to use typed User model instead of Any
- Clean JSON parsing with proper imports (JSONDecodeError, json_loads)

### Type Safety Improvements
- Replace Any type annotations with proper PrismaUser typing
- Use AutoTopUpConfig class directly instead of generic dict
- Remove defensive hasattr() calls with direct attribute access
- Achieve zero format errors across entire codebase

## Files Modified
- backend/data/model.py: New application User model with from_db() converter
- backend/util/service.py: HTTP retry logic + Prisma validation
- backend/data/user.py: Updated to return application models
- autogpt_libs/feature_flag/client.py: Type-safe LaunchDarkly integration
- Multiple test files: Migrated to use application User model
