perf(ci): optimize database setup with structure.sql (99.7% faster)

Replace sequential migration execution (4m8s for 172 migrations) with
structure.sql loading (416ms), reducing CI database setup time by 99.7%.

Changes:
- Configure Ecto to dump/load schema from priv/repo/structure.sql
- Update test alias: ecto.migrate → ecto.load
- Remove redundant database setup step from CI workflow
- Commit structure.sql to repository for version control

Benefits:
- CI database setup: 4m8s → 416ms (248s → 0.4s)
- Consistent schema snapshots across environments
- Faster local test runs

Maintenance:
- Run 'mix ecto.dump' after adding new migrations
- Structure file auto-updates with schema changes
