feat(backend): add timeout guard for locked_transaction used for credit transactions (#10528)

## Summary

This PR adds a timeout guard to the `locked_transaction` function used
for credit transactions to prevent indefinite blocking and improve
reliability.

## Changes

- Modified `locked_transaction` in `/backend/backend/data/db.py` to add
proper timeout handling
- Set `lock_timeout` and `statement_timeout` to prevent indefinite
blocking
- Updated function signature to use default timeout parameter
- Added comprehensive docstring explaining the locking mechanism

## Motivation

The previous implementation could potentially block indefinitely if a
lock couldn't be acquired, which could cause issues in production
environments, especially for critical credit transactions.

## Testing

- Existing tests pass
- The timeout mechanism ensures transactions won't hang indefinitely
- Advisory locks are properly released on commit/rollback
