docs: add database migration strategy to v1.0.0 roadmap

Expand database migration strategy section to include:
- Automated schema migration system requirements
- Migration version tracking and rollback
- Zero-downtime migration procedures
- Pre-production recommendation to delete/recreate databases

Current state: Minimal migrations (pre-production)
Future: Full migration system for production deployments
