#3907 automatic change requests updating roles

[cielbellerose]

Changes

Updating a lead/manager of a project or work package is now an automatic change request

also supports removing lead/manager

Button Logic

• Submit button
  • Disabled when: no changes, or more than just leadership-only change
  • Enabled when: leadership-only changed (auto CR)
• Create Change Request button
  • always enabled including when only leadership changed - logic was user can still make a formal CR if they want, but submit also works

Pull request overview

This pull request implements automatic change requests for updating leads and managers of projects and work packages. Instead of requiring manual approval, leadership changes are now automatically approved and immediately applied. This streamlines the process of assigning or changing project and work package leadership.

Changes:

• Adds a new "Leadership" change request type that is auto-approved when created
• Implements frontend logic to detect when only leadership fields have changed and triggers automatic CR creation
• Adds backend service, controller, and database schema for leadership change requests
