LSHARK - The Ultimate Loan System

Changes

1. Improved the analytics system with dynamic and intelligent server-side aggregation, significantly reducing the amount of data sent to the client.
2. Analytics data is now always compacted, regardless of total event count, respecting the configured maximum points per player.
3. Implemented automatic analytics database sanitization, keeping long-term histories lightweight and consistent.
4. Adjusted the logging system to enforce per-player log limits, replacing the previous global cleanup approach.
5. The contracts panel now guarantees correct installment value display, never showing $0 when active debt exists.
6. Loan contract creation now strictly enforces a minimum installment value of $1.
7. The loan clipboard SWEP has been adjusted to no longer expose ammo data to HUDs or weapon systems.

Fixes

1. Fixed net overflow issues caused by excessive analytics data being sent to clients.
2. Fixed an exploit where installments below $1.00 resulted in no charge being applied.
3. Fixed the contracts panel displaying $0 installment values under specific configurations.
4. Fixed the possibility of creating or accepting contracts with invalid installment values (< $1).
5. Fixed the loan clipboard SWEP being interpreted as a pistol with ammo by some custom HUDs.
