Change debug logging to write to AuditLog table

Flask logger output was not visible in Portainer logs or Logging page.
Changed to write debug info to audit_logs table instead, which is
visible on the Logging page in the UI.

Changes:
- Debug entries use event_type "ticket_link_debug"
- User field set to "system"
- Details field contains ticket info (one per line)
- Visible on Settings → Logging page

 - Fixed internal and Autotask tickets being linked to new runs even after being resolved by removing date-based "open" logic from ticket query (tickets now only link to new runs if they are genuinely unresolved, not based on run date comparisons)
 
 ### Changed
-- Added debug logging to ticket linking function to troubleshoot resolved ticket propagation issues (logs ticket_id, ticket_code, resolved_at values for both ticket and scope)
