refactor: update electron preload script and type definitions

This commit updates the Electron preload script and type definitions to improve
SQLite integration and IPC communication. The changes include:

- Enhanced preload script (electron/src/preload.ts):
  * Added detailed logging for SQLite operations and IPC communication
  * Implemented retry logic for SQLite operations (3 attempts, 1s delay)
  * Added proper type definitions for SQLite connection options
  * Defined strict channel validation for IPC communication
  * Improved error handling and logging throughout

- Updated type definitions (src/types/electron.d.ts):
  * Aligned ElectronAPI interface with actual implementation
  * Added proper typing for all SQLite operations
  * Added environment variables (platform, isDev)
  * Structured IPC renderer interface with proper method signatures

Current Status:
- Preload script initializes successfully
- SQLite availability check works (returns true)
- SQLite ready signal is properly received
- Database operations are failing with two types of errors:
  1. "CapacitorSQLite not available" during initialization
  2. "Cannot read properties of undefined" for SQLite methods

Next Steps:
- Verify context bridge exposure in renderer process
- Check main process SQLite handlers
- Debug database initialization
- Address Content Security Policy warning

Affected Files:
- Modified: electron/src/preload.ts
- Modified: src/types/electron.d.ts

Note: This is a transitional commit. While the preload script and type
definitions are now properly structured, database operations are not yet
functional. Further debugging and fixes are required to resolve the
SQLite integration issues.
