Fix Stalwart backup CronJob to handle ReadWriteOnce PVC

Implement scale-down/backup/scale-up pattern to work around PVC access mode limitation.

Changes:
- Add RBAC (ServiceAccount, Role, RoleBinding) with statefulsets/scale and pods permissions
- Switch to alpine:3.19 base image with kubectl and restic
- Scale down StatefulSet to 0 replicas before backup
- Run restic backup while pod is stopped
- Scale back up to 1 replica with error handling
- Add cleanup trap to ensure scale-up even on failure
- Set 10-minute timeout and backoff limit

Tested successfully: backup completes in ~32 seconds with minimal downtime.
Resolves DEV-236.
