## Description

TwentyORM's `.save()` emits UPDATE events whose `after` record carries
default (empty) values for columns that weren't written: TypeORM
null-injects untouched nullable columns on the entity in place, and
`formatResult` turns those into empty strings. So a partial update (e.g.
renaming a workspace member) reports untouched fields like `avatarUrl`
and `userEmail` as changed, which is what made the avatar-file-deletion
listener delete the picture uploaded during onboarding. The same stale
data also reaches webhooks, workflow/logic-function triggers and record
subscriptions.

Fix: `save()` was the only write path building its event `after` from
the in-memory payload instead of re-reading the row. `update()`,
`upsert()` and `softDelete()` all re-SELECT after the write, so `save()`
now does the same.

`withDeleted` is on both the before and the after find, since `save({
id, deletedAt })` and `save({ id, deletedAt: null })` are valid
soft-delete and restore, and an asymmetric find would leave a restored
row with no matching before-record.

Worth noting: a genuinely no-op save now emits no update event, where it
previously emitted one with a bogus diff.
