refactor to improve database operability

Simplified the database layer by removing custom interface wrappers
and using standard library *sql.DB and *sql.Tx types directly.

Changes:
- Removed DBConnection and DBTransaction interfaces from database.go
- Removed NewDBConnection() wrapper function
- Updated TokenGenerator to use *sql.DB instead of DBConnection
- Updated all validation and revocation methods to accept *sql.Tx
- Updated TableManager to work with *sql.DB directly
- Updated all tests to use db.Begin() instead of custom wrappers
- Fixed GeneratorConfig.DB field (was DBConn)
- Updated documentation in doc.go with correct API usage

Benefits:
- Simpler API with fewer abstractions
- Works directly with database/sql standard library
- Compatible with GORM (via gormDB.DB()) and Bun (share same *sql.DB)
- Easier to understand and maintain
- No unnecessary wrapper layers

Breaking changes:
- GeneratorConfig.DBConn renamed to GeneratorConfig.DB
- Removed NewDBConnection() function - pass *sql.DB directly
- ValidateAccess/ValidateRefresh now accept *sql.Tx instead of DBTransaction
- Token.Revoke/CheckNotRevoked now accept *sql.Tx instead of DBTransaction

+// Package jwt provides JWT (JSON Web Token) generation and validation with token revocation support.
+//
+// This package implements JWT access and refresh tokens with the ability to revoke tokens
+// using a database-backed blacklist. It supports multiple database backends including
+// PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MariaDB, and works with both standard library database/sql
+// and popular ORMs like GORM and Bun.
+//
+// # Features
+//
+//   - Access and refresh token generation
+//   - Token validation with expiration checking
+//   - Token revocation via database blacklist
+//   - Support for multiple database types (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MariaDB)
+//   - Compatible with database/sql, GORM, and Bun ORMs
+//   - Automatic table creation and management
+//   - Database-native automatic cleanup (PostgreSQL functions, MySQL events)
+//   - Manual cleanup method for on-demand token cleanup
+//   - Token freshness tracking for sensitive operations
+//   - "Remember me" functionality with session vs persistent tokens
+//
+// # Basic Usage
+//
+// Create a token generator with database support:
+//
+//	db, _ := sql.Open("postgres", "connection_string")
+//	gen, err := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    AccessExpireAfter:  15,   // 15 minutes
+//	    RefreshExpireAfter: 1440, // 24 hours
+//	    FreshExpireAfter:   5,    // 5 minutes
+//	    TrustedHost:        "example.com",
+//	    SecretKey:          "your-secret-key",
+//	    DB:                 db,
+//	    DBType:             jwt.DatabaseType{Type: jwt.DatabasePostgreSQL, Version: "15"},
+//	    TableConfig:        jwt.DefaultTableConfig(),
+//	})
+//
+// Generate tokens:
+//
+//	accessToken, accessExp, err := gen.NewAccess(userID, true, false)
+//	refreshToken, refreshExp, err := gen.NewRefresh(userID, false)
+//
+// Validate tokens (using standard library):
+//
+//	tx, _ := db.Begin()
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(tx, accessToken)
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    // Token is invalid or revoked
+//	}
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// Validate tokens (using ORM like GORM):
+//
+//	tx := gormDB.Begin()
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(tx.Statement.ConnPool, accessToken)
+//	// or with Bun: gen.ValidateAccess(bunDB.BeginTx(ctx, nil), accessToken)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// Revoke tokens:
+//
+//	tx, _ := db.Begin()
+//	err := token.Revoke(tx)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// # Database Configuration
+//
+// The package automatically creates a blacklist table with the following schema:
+//
+//	CREATE TABLE jwtblacklist (
+//	    jti UUID PRIMARY KEY,      -- Token unique identifier
+//	    exp BIGINT NOT NULL,        -- Expiration timestamp
+//	    sub INT NOT NULL,           -- Subject (user) ID
+//	    created_at TIMESTAMP        -- When token was blacklisted
+//	);
+//
+// # Cleanup
+//
+// For PostgreSQL, the package creates a cleanup function that can be called manually
+// or scheduled with pg_cron:
+//
+//	SELECT cleanup_jwtblacklist();
+//
+// For MySQL/MariaDB, the package creates a database event that runs automatically
+// (requires event_scheduler to be enabled).
+//
+// Manual cleanup can be performed at any time:
+//
+//	err := gen.Cleanup(context.Background())
+//
+// # Using with ORMs
+//
+// The package works with popular ORMs by using raw SQL queries. For GORM and Bun,
+// wrap the underlying *sql.DB with NewDBConnection() when creating the generator:
+//
+//	// GORM example - can use GORM transactions directly
+//	gormDB, _ := gorm.Open(postgres.Open(dsn), &gorm.Config{})
+//	sqlDB, _ := gormDB.DB()
+//	gen, _ := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    // ... config ...
+//	    DB: sqlDB,
+//	})
+//	// Use GORM transaction
+//	tx := gormDB.Begin()
+//	token, _ := gen.ValidateAccess(tx.Statement.ConnPool, tokenString)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+//	// Bun example - can use Bun transactions directly
+//	sqlDB, _ := sql.Open("postgres", dsn)
+//	bunDB := bun.NewDB(sqlDB, pgdialect.New())
+//	gen, _ := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    // ... config ...
+//	    DB: sqlDB,
+//	})
+//	// Use Bun transaction
+//	tx, _ := bunDB.BeginTx(context.Background(), nil)
+//	token, _ := gen.ValidateAccess(tx, tokenString)
+//	tx.Commit()
+//
+// # Token Freshness
+//
+// Tokens can be marked as "fresh" for sensitive operations. Fresh tokens are typically
+// required for actions like changing passwords or email addresses:
+//
+//	token, err := gen.ValidateAccess(exec, tokenString)
+//	if time.Now().Unix() > token.Fresh {
+//	    // Token is not fresh, require re-authentication
+//	}
+//
+// # Custom Table Names
+//
+// You can customize the blacklist table name:
+//
+//	config := jwt.DefaultTableConfig()
+//	config.TableName = "my_token_blacklist"
+//
+// # Disabling Database Features
+//
+// To use JWT without revocation support (no database):
+//
+//	gen, err := jwt.CreateGenerator(jwt.GeneratorConfig{
+//	    AccessExpireAfter:  15,
+//	    RefreshExpireAfter: 1440,
+//	    FreshExpireAfter:   5,
+//	    TrustedHost:        "example.com",
+//	    SecretKey:          "your-secret-key",
+//	    DB:                 nil, // No database
+//	})
+//
+// When DB is nil, revocation features are disabled and token validation
+// will not check the blacklist.
