feat(backend): shift existing research areas display_order automatically on insert and update

- Automatically increment display_order (+1) for all existing research areas with display_order >= target order in a transaction
- Handle display_order re-ordering gracefully during update operations
- Add unit test TestResearchAreasDisplayOrderShift to verify shift behavior on create/update
- Pass all Go tests and E2E test suites cleanly
