feat(activeDid): complete API layer with minimal safe $accountSettings update

- Add minimal change to prioritize activeDid from active_identity table
- Maintain all existing complex logic and backward compatibility
- Update migration plan to reflect API layer completion

The $accountSettings method now uses the new active_identity table as primary
source while preserving all existing settings merging and fallback behavior.
