Alphaeus Mote 3dde2997f6 Add automatic dependency installer and package checks
DEPENDENCY MANAGEMENT:
- Created scripts/install-dependencies.sh - automatic installer for all required packages
- Detects OS (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Arch, macOS)
- Installs PostgreSQL client (psql) automatically
- Installs Docker & Docker Compose if missing
- Installs utility packages (curl, wget, git)

SCRIPT ENHANCEMENTS:
- Updated setup-database.sh with dependency checking
- Updated generate_data.sh with dependency checking
- Updated verify-setup.sh with dependency checking
- All scripts now prompt to run installer if dependencies are missing
- Interactive prompts guide users through installation

DOCUMENTATION:
- Updated README.md with dependency installation instructions
- Updated QUICKSTART.md with Step 0: Install Dependencies
- Added supported OS list
- Added automatic dependency check notes

USER EXPERIENCE:
- No more manual package installation required
- Scripts fail gracefully with helpful error messages
- One-command installation: ./scripts/install-dependencies.sh
- Automatic detection and installation on Linux/macOS
- Clear instructions for Windows users

This ensures users can get started immediately without hunting for package installation commands.
