Part 1 final build: Los Santos RP written on camera by the agent

rp_core (sessions, scrypt auth, self-written MySQL-wire driver rp_db),
county-records NUI: residency-file auth, identity-record character
intake, survey-grid spawn, procedural night-city loading screen.
Secrets replaced with .example files.
