Remove ShopWorker entity and migrate worker identity to ApplicationUser

Removes the ShopWorker and ShopWorkerRoleCost entities, all related DTOs,
mappings, controllers, views, and import/export paths. Worker identity is
now handled entirely through ApplicationUser with per-user LaborCostPerHour.
ShopWorkerRoleCosts table remains in production pending manual data migration.

-            <p>
-                Shop Workers are the people who do the hands-on work in your facility — sandblasters, coaters,
-                maskers, oven operators, and supervisors. Adding your workers to the system lets you assign them
-                to jobs and maintenance tasks, giving you a clear picture of who is working on what at any time.
-            </p>
-            <p>
-                Shop Workers are separate from system user accounts. A worker does not need to log into the
-                system — they are simply a record that can be assigned to work. If a worker also needs to log
-                in and update job statuses themselves, an Administrator can create a linked user account for
-                them with the <em>Shop Floor</em> role.

-            </h2>
-            <p>
-                Each job can have one worker assigned to it as the primary responsible person. This is the
-                worker who owns the job from start to finish — typically a coater or supervisor.
-            </p>
-            <p>To assign a worker when creating or editing a job:</p>
-            <ol class="mb-3">
-                <li class="mb-1">Open the job's Create or Edit form.</li>
-                <li class="mb-1">Scroll down to the <strong>Assignment</strong> section.</li>
-                <li class="mb-1">Select a worker from the <strong>Assigned Worker</strong> dropdown. Only active workers are listed.</li>
-                <li class="mb-1">Save the job.</li>
-            </ol>
-            <p>
-                The assigned worker's name appears on the job list view, on the job detail page, and in any
-                reports filtered by worker.
-            </p>
-            <p>
-                Workers can also be assigned to <strong>maintenance tasks</strong> on equipment. See the
-                <a asp-controller="Help" asp-action="Equipment" class="text-decoration-none">Equipment &amp; Maintenance</a>
-                help page for details.

-                    If a worker you want to assign does not appear in the dropdown, check that their record is
-                    marked as <strong>Active</strong>. Inactive workers are hidden from assignment lists.

-            </h2>
-            <p>
-                When a worker leaves the shop or is no longer available for assignment, deactivate their record
-                rather than deleting it. Deactivating preserves the history of all jobs they were assigned to,
-                while removing them from the active assignment dropdowns so they cannot be accidentally selected
-                for new work.
-            </p>
-            <p>To deactivate a worker:</p>
-            <ol class="mb-3">
-                <li class="mb-1">Open the worker's Details or Edit page.</li>
-                <li class="mb-1">Uncheck the <strong>Active</strong> checkbox.</li>
-                <li class="mb-1">Click <strong>Save</strong>.</li>
-            </ol>
-            <p>
-                Alternatively, use the <strong>Delete</strong> button on the Details page to perform a soft
-                delete, which has the same effect.
-            </p>

-                <div>
-                    If a worker currently has open jobs assigned to them, reassign those jobs first before
-                    deactivating the worker — so the jobs remain clearly owned and nothing falls through the cracks.
