Subject: [PATCH] Paginate attachment listing (#100)

AttachmentModel::getAttachments() had no LIMIT/OFFSET, so a ticket
with hundreds of attachments loaded and rendered every one of them in
a single API response and DOM grid, unbounded.

Added optional limit/offset to getAttachments(), matching the pattern
already used by CommentModel::getCommentsByTicketId(). The GET handler
in upload_attachment.php now accepts limit/offset (default 40, capped
at 100) and returns total/has_more alongside the page of attachments.
ticket.js's loadAttachments()/renderAttachments() now fetch and append
pages, showing a "Load more attachments (N remaining)" control when
more are available. Verified against real MariaDB with 12 attachments
across 3 pages of 5: no duplicates or gaps across pages, and the
legacy unlimited call (getAttachments($ticketId) with no
limit/offset) still returns everything unchanged.
