Add query optimization and reliability improvements

- Consolidate StatsModel queries from 12 to 3 using conditional aggregation
- Add input validation to DashboardController (sort columns, dates, priorities)
- Combine getCategories/getTypes into single query
- Add transaction support to BulkOperationsModel with atomic mode option
- Add depth limit (20) to dependency cycle detection to prevent DoS
- Add caching to UserModel.getAllGroups() with 5-minute TTL
- Improve ticket ID generation with 50 attempts, exponential backoff, and fallback
