feat: implement comprehensive AI moderation for all content types

- Add AI moderation to comments (was missing protection)
- Enhance post moderation to analyze images, videos, thumbnails
- Add FlagComment method for comment flagging
- Extract media URLs for comprehensive content analysis
- Update moderation config and models
- Add OpenAI and Google Vision API integration
- Fix database connection to use localhost

This ensures all text, image, and video content is protected by AI moderation.
