feat: implement ActiveDid migration to active_identity table

- Add $getActiveIdentity() method to PlatformServiceMixin interface
- Update HomeView.vue to use new active_identity API methods
- Update ContactsView.vue to use new active_identity API methods
- Fix apiServer default handling in PlatformServiceMixin
- Ensure DEFAULT_ENDORSER_API_SERVER is used when apiServer is empty
- Add comprehensive logging for debugging ActiveDid migration
- Resolve TypeScript interface issues with Vue mixins
