Sri Hari Haran Sharma 7c8f060b08 Fix orphan navigation menu items for deleted views (#18791)
## Summary

Fixes #18757

This fixes a set of Favorites / navigation-menu-item integrity problems
related to deleted views, stale hidden items, and upgraded workspaces
with orphaned navigation items.

## What changed

- delete `navigationMenuItem` entries when their favorited view is
deleted
- keep the client metadata store in sync immediately when a view is
deleted
- determine whether a view is already favorited from visible valid
navigation items instead of raw stale items
- add a `1.20.0` upgrade repair command that deletes orphan navigation
menu items and normalizes positions
- add regression coverage for deletion of both record-based and
view-based navigation menu items

## Details

Server:
- extend `NavigationMenuItemDeletionService` so cleanup applies to
deleted views as well as deleted records
- add regression tests covering record-based deletion, view-based
deletion, and no-op behavior
- add `DeleteOrphanNavigationMenuItemsCommand` to remove orphaned items
pointing to:
  - deleted views
  - deleted records
  - missing folders
- normalize positions per scope (`userWorkspaceId + folderId`) after
repair
- wire the new repair command into the `1.20.0` upgrade flow

Frontend:
- add `useRemoveNavigationMenuItemByViewId`
- remove the related navigation item from client metadata immediately
when deleting a view
- use sorted / visible navigation items for favorite detection so stale
hidden rows do not block re-adding a favorite

## Why

Issue `#18757` reports mismatches between Favorites shown in the UI and
rows users can still find in the database. We found that current
Favorites behavior is driven by `navigationMenuItem`, not the legacy
`favorite` table, and that stale / orphaned `navigationMenuItem` rows
could:
- remain after deleting a favorited view
- stay hidden from the UI if they point to invalid targets
- still cause the UI to think a view was already favorited
- persist in workspaces with migration damage from skipped sequential
upgrades

This patch addresses those cases directly and adds an upgrade-time
repair path for older corrupted workspaces.

## Validation

Passed:
- `./node_modules/.bin/jest --config
packages/twenty-server/jest.config.mjs --runInBand
packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/navigation-menu-item/services/__tests__/navigation-menu-item-deletion.service.spec.ts`
- `./node_modules/.bin/tsc -p packages/twenty-front/tsconfig.json
--noEmit --pretty false`

Known unrelated existing failure:
- `./node_modules/.bin/tsc -p packages/twenty-server/tsconfig.json
--noEmit --pretty false`

The server typecheck failure is pre-existing and unrelated to this
branch. Current errors are around `@file-type/pdf` module resolution and
`is-psl-parsed-domain.type.ts`.

Why Twenty

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
