fix(tests): join background scan/enrich workers before closing the DB (#735)

Root cause of the flaky pytest segfault (exit 139): the background scan and enrichment daemon threads (_scan_runner/_enrich_runner) use the shared MetadataDB connection, but test fixtures closed that connection in teardown without stopping them. A daemon thread mid-query on a freed SQLite conn is a native use-after-free → SIGSEGV. The app's startup kicks a scan, so almost any app-booting fixture was vulnerable. It only surfaced now because got-feedback/feedBack#728 added a push trigger, so ci/test runs on every push to main.

Fix: server.py retains the scan/enrich thread handles and adds _join_background_db_threads(); every test fixture now joins the workers before conn.close(). Verified: the full suite runs to completion (no segfault) where it previously crashed at ~25%.
