Saving placed metal detectors to the database

To persist placed metal detectors across server restarts:

Set Config.SavePlacedDetectorsToDatabase = true in config.lua.
Run insert.sql to create the gs_metal_detectors table.
In fxmanifest.lua, uncomment '@oxmysql/lib/MySQL.lua' in the server_scripts section.

Placed detectors are then stored (x, y, z, heading) and respawned on resource start. Removing a detector via the target option also removes it from the database.
