Subject: [PATCH] fix(nginxproxymanager): update for better-sqlite3 and setup
 wizard

NPM switched to better-sqlite3 as the knex database client.
The old sqlite3 client causes 'Internal Error' on user creation.

- Update production.json in install/update to use better-sqlite3
- Add sed patch in update script to fix existing production.json
- Add useNullAsDefault: true to match upstream knex config
- Remove default credentials from JSON (NPM now uses setup wizard)
- Add note about setup wizard for first-time users

Ref: NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager@0b2fa82
Closes #11681
