[AZ-370] Refactor C17: status / point-type enums + AC RT2 update

Replaces bare strings with two enums in Common/Enums/:
  RegionStatus { Queued, Processing, Completed, Failed }
  RoutePointType { Start, End, Action, Intermediate }

Adds a Dapper EnumStringTypeHandler<T> (DataAccess/TypeHandlers/)
that round-trips enums to/from lowercase strings, registered once
at startup via DapperEnumTypeHandlers.RegisterAll(). DataAccess now
references Common (project ref) so entities can carry the enum types.

Sites converted: RegionService (5), RouteProcessingService (3),
RoutePointGraphBuilder (4), entity Status/PointType columns. Log
message and summary file format preserved via .ToLowerInvariant().

API JSON contract preserved by adding JsonStringEnumConverter with
JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase to the http JSON options — single-word
enum members serialize to the same lowercase strings as before.

DTO renamed: Common.DTO.RegionStatus -> RegionStatusResponse to
free the RegionStatus name for the new enum (forced by the task's
explicit enum name); the renamed DTO has no public-API impact at
the JSON wire level. Stale doc references updated.

AC RT2 in _docs/00_problem/acceptance_criteria.md now lists all 4
point types (start/end/action/intermediate).

Tests: 171 / 171 unit + 5 / 5 smoke green (was 141 + 5; +30 new tests
covering type handler round-trip, set/parse, unknown-value rejection,
idempotent registration, and the AC RT2 doc check).
