Phase G: Add Recurring Transactions (BackgroundService + CRUD UI)

- RecurringTemplate entity with Frequency/IntervalCount/NextFireDate/EndDate/MaxOccurrences/TemplateData JSON
- RecurringFrequency + RecurringTemplateType enums
- RecurringTransactionService BackgroundService: hourly check, creates Draft bills or immediate expenses, advances NextFireDate, auto-deactivates on limits
- RecurringTemplatesController: Index/Create/Edit/ToggleActive/Delete/GenerateNow (on-demand fire)
- Three views + external JS for type-toggle and dynamic bill line items
- Finance sidebar nav: Recurring Transactions
- Migration: AddRecurringTemplates
