fix: remove legacy SQLite compatibility code (#122)

Closes #122

Both prod and dev environments use PostgreSQL. Removes all SQLite
compatibility code that was never exercised in practice.

Changes:
- db_engine.py: replace SQLite/PostgreSQL branching with direct
  PooledPostgresqlDatabase init; remove DATABASE_TYPE, SKIP_TABLE_CREATION,
  all db.create_tables() calls, and commented-out SQLite scout_db code
- db_helpers.py: remove DATABASE_TYPE var and SQLite on_conflict_replace
  branch from upsert_many(); PostgreSQL ON CONFLICT is now the only path
- players.py: update stale comment
- tests/conftest.py: remove DATABASE_TYPE env var (no longer needed);
  keep POSTGRES_PASSWORD dummy for instantiation
- CLAUDE.md: update SQLite references to PostgreSQL

Note: unit tests in test_evolution_seed.py and test_season_stats_model.py
use SqliteDatabase(':memory:') for test isolation — this is legitimate test
infrastructure, not production SQLite compatibility code.

 ### Common Issues
 - 502 Bad Gateway → API container crashed; check `docker logs pd_api`
 - Card image generation failures → Playwright/Chromium issue; check for missing dependencies
-- SQLite locking (dev) → WAL mode should prevent, but check for long-running writes
 - DB connection errors → verify `POSTGRES_HOST` points to correct container name
 - **CI/CD**: Gitea Actions on PR to `main` — builds Docker image, auto-generates CalVer version (`YYYY.MM.BUILD`) on merge
