feat(server): make workspace Custom application carry an applicationRegistration so custom labels are translatable (#22378)

## Why

Custom objects/fields belong to a per-workspace **Custom** application
(`workspace.workspaceCustomApplicationId`). That application was created
with `applicationRegistrationId = null`. Because the metadata label
resolver loads a translation catalog from `core.applicationTranslation`
**keyed by `applicationRegistrationId`**
(`ApplicationTranslationCacheService.getCatalog` →
`applicationTranslationCatalogLoader` →
`resolveObjectMetadataStandardOverride` /
`resolveFieldMetadataStandardOverride`), the Custom app had no catalog
and custom labels always resolved to the raw source string.

This is the foundational slice: it wires up the missing key so custom
labels can be translated **exactly like any installed third-party app**.
The read/resolve path already works once a catalog exists — confirmed
end-to-end. `flatApplicationMaps` carries `applicationRegistrationId`
straight from the entity column, so setting it + recomputing that cache
is all that's needed.

## What changed

- **`ApplicationService.createWorkspaceCustomApplication`** now creates
a workspace-scoped `applicationRegistration` and links it to the Custom
application. This covers both production creation sites (sign-in-up and
the dev-seeder), which are the only callers.
- **New idempotent workspace upgrade command**
`upgrade:2-18:backfill-workspace-custom-application-registration`
creates a registration for each existing workspace's Custom application
that lacks one and links it. It delegates the registration lifecycle
(create + link + `flatApplicationMaps` recompute) to
`ApplicationService`, so the command only decides *which* workspaces
need it.
- New `WORKSPACE_CUSTOM_APPLICATION_NAME` constant; the registration
creation lives in
`ApplicationService.createWorkspaceCustomApplicationRegistration`.

## Design decisions

- **Per-workspace registration (not a shared "custom" registration).**
`applicationTranslation` is keyed *only* by `applicationRegistrationId`
(cross-workspace). A shared registration would force every workspace's
custom translations into one catalog keyed by
`generateMessageId(sourceText)`, guaranteeing cross-workspace collisions
and leakage (two workspaces both naming an object "Project" would
clash). Each workspace's Custom app gets its own registration
(`ownerWorkspaceId = workspaceId`, `universalIdentifier = the Custom
app's per-workspace uuid`) and thus an isolated catalog — matching
installed-app behaviour, where `application.universalIdentifier ===
registration.universalIdentifier`.
- **Source-label keying kept** (`generateMessageId(sourceLabel)`). The
resolve path and the third-party manifest pipeline both key catalogs
this way. Re-keying by a stable `universalIdentifier` would require
changing the shared resolver/dataloader for *all* apps and would break
marketplace manifest translations — out of scope for this slice.
Consequence: renaming a label orphans its catalog entry (it falls back
to the source label until re-translated) — the same behaviour an
installed app has when it changes a source string. Re-keying on rename
can be handled later by the interactive write path.
- **Workspace command (not instance command)** for the backfill: it is
per-workspace data logic that must recompute the per-workspace
`flatApplicationMaps` cache the resolver reads from. It is idempotent
(skips Custom apps that already have a registration), supports
`--dry-run`, and is forward-only by design.
- **Interactive write path deferred** as an explicit follow-up. This
slice proves the read/resolve path; an editor that writes custom
translations into `applicationTranslation` (+ cache invalidation) is the
natural next step.

## Tests

- **Unit test** for the backfill command: creation + linking,
idempotency, dry-run, and the skip paths.
- **Integration test**
(`custom-application-translation.integration-spec.ts`): on a freshly
created workspace (so the registration's translation cache is guaranteed
cold), it asserts the Custom application is created with a registration,
seeds an `applicationTranslation` row, and verifies a custom object's
label resolves from that catalog while a label with no catalog entry
falls back to its source label.

## Notes for reviewers

- No new entity columns or migrations beyond the workspace command —
`ApplicationRegistrationEntity` already supports a workspace-scoped
`workspaceId`.
- The backfill follows the established upgrade-command pattern: it
imports `ApplicationModule` and delegates to `ApplicationService`
(consistent with the other version-command modules).
