Added 'paused' parameter to DraftData PATCH endpoint in major-domo database API. When paused=True, the draft blocks all picks (manual and auto) and stops the timer. Resume restarts the timer with a fresh deadline. Required database migration to add paused column (BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE) to draftdata table.
