Add pool_timeout and database health check to /health endpoint

Fixes CAR-1077: API pods getting server closed connection unexpectedly.

- Add pool_timeout=30 to database engine to fail fast when pool is exhausted
- Update /health endpoint to verify database connectivity before returning ok
- This prevents Kubernetes from routing traffic to API pods that cannot connect to PostgreSQL
