Add Python dependency and start CSV-based data generation

DEPENDENCY INSTALLER UPDATES:

- Added Python 3 installation check and installer

- Python is required for fast CSV data generation

- Updated step numbers from [1/4] to [1/5]

- Python installed before PostgreSQL client

- Supports Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Arch, macOS

DEPLOY SCRIPT UPDATES:

- Added automatic dependency checking (Step 3/8)

- Checks for python3, psql, and docker

- Automatically runs install-dependencies.sh if missing

- Updated all step numbers to reflect 8 total steps

- Step 3: Check dependencies (NEW)

- Step 4: Fix permissions (was Step 3)

- Step 5: Start containers (was Step 4)

- Step 6: Initialize schema (was Step 5)

- Step 7: Generate data (was Step 6)

- Step 8: Verify deployment (was Step 7)

CSV DATA GENERATION (IN PROGRESS):

- Created scripts/generate_csv_data.py

- Python-based CSV generator for bulk import

- Much faster than SQL INSERT statements

- Generates realistic data with proper relationships

- Partial implementation (customers, accounts, merchants, cards)

- Next: Complete transactions and analytics data

RATIONALE:

- Current bash-based data generation has transaction commit issues

- Data shows as generated but doesn't persist (0 rows after completion)

- CSV + COPY command is PostgreSQL best practice for bulk loading

- 10-100x faster than INSERT statements

- More reliable - atomic COPY operations

- Easier to debug - can inspect CSV files
