fix(backup): compressed -Fc dumps + pg_restore; reconcile subprocess timeouts (#739)
DB backup polish (plan-task #764 Q3):
- pg_dump now uses custom format (-Fc): compressed (much smaller on NFS) and
  restored via pg_restore. Artifact extension .sql → .dump; restore_db swaps
  psql -f for pg_restore -d. BackupRun.sql_path field name kept (it's just the
  db artifact path).
- Reconcile the subprocess guardrails: the DB timeout was 720s with a stale
  'Celery soft is 10 min' comment, but backup_db_task's soft limit is actually
  1800s — so the bounded-kill fired 18 min early. Set DB=1700s / images=21000s,
  each just under its task's Celery soft limit so _run_bounded stays the
  primary guard (an NFS D-state hang defeats Celery's own SIGKILL).

Real shrink of the DB is the #764 prune; this makes each dump smaller/faster
on top of that.

"""FC-3h: first-class backup/restore service for FC.
Two independent backup kinds:
- 'db' — pg_dump only; fast; nightly via Beat (settings-gated)
- 'images' — tar+zstd of /images; slow; manual trigger only
Files live under <images_root>/_backups/. Each backup writes:
fc_<kind>_<ts>.{sql|tar.zst} — the artifact
fc_<kind>_<ts>.json — manifest (kind/tag/triggered_by)
Service functions are sync (subprocess-bound). Celery tasks in
backend.app.tasks.backup wrap each one with task_run-tracked
lifecycle + soft/hard time limits + retention bookkeeping.
