Add break time feature to time entries

- Add breakMinutes field to TimeEntry model and database migration
- Users can now add break duration (minutes) to time entries
- Break time is subtracted from total tracked duration
- Validation ensures break time cannot exceed total entry duration
- Statistics and client target balance calculations account for breaks
- Frontend UI includes break time input in TimeEntryFormModal
- Duration displays show break time deduction (e.g., '7h (−1h break)')
- Both project/client statistics and weekly balance calculations updated
