📄 Description

Summary: Fixes critical OOM crashes (#22206) by implementing server-side pagination and optimizing memory-intensive database queries.

The Problem:
High-volume endpoints like /api/v1/chats/all, /api/v1/memories/, and /api/v1/evaluations/ load entire datasets into memory at once, causing OOM crashes on enterprise-scale instances.

The Fix:

Atomic Commit: Rebased against upstream/dev and squashed into a single commit.
Server-side Pagination: Added skip and limit to SQLAlchemy queries in chats.py, feedbacks.py, memories.py, and messages.py.
Optimized Deletion: Replaced Python-side materialization in delete_shared_chats_by_user_id with a correlated subquery.
Omitted Tests: Test files removed per maintainer request.

Testing & Validation:

✅ Personal Testing: I have personally tested ALL changes in this PR.
✅ Methodology: Verified pagination by seeding a local PostgreSQL database with 5,000+ chat and memory records.
✅ Result: Confirmed that memory usage remains stable (O(1) relative to total record count) during high-offset fetches.
