Fix database undefined values causing SQL.js binding errors

Convert undefined values to null in database operations to prevent
"tried to bind a value of an unknown type" errors in SQL.js worker.

- Fix $insertContact() method undefined-to-null conversion
- Fix $insertEntity() method undefined-to-null conversion
- Preserve boolean false/0 values vs null distinction
- Maintain parameterized queries for SQL injection protection
- Fix contact creation errors in ContactsView component

Resolves database binding failures when inserting contacts with
undefined properties. All linting errors resolved.
