fix: prevent server crashes during photo processing

- Add database connection health checks every 10 photos
- Add session refresh logic to recover from connection errors
- Improve error handling for database disconnections/timeouts
- Add explicit image cleanup to prevent memory leaks
- Add connection error detection throughout processing pipeline
- Gracefully handle database connection failures instead of crashing

Fixes issue where server would crash during long-running photo processing
tasks when database connections were lost or timed out.
