Read the AWS database endpoint instead of the disabled proxy endpoint.

The AWS root sets enable_rds_proxy = false. Its database_proxy_endpoint therefore resolves to null for both platform states. After terraform init succeeds, this lookup cannot supply DB_ENDPOINT, so neither AWS migration can run. Read the root’s database_endpoint output, which falls back to the RDS instance address.

Review comment at @.github/workflows/database-migration.yml at line 358:
Update the DB_ENDPOINT lookup in the migration workflow to read the root’s
database_endpoint output instead of database_proxy_endpoint, so it resolves to
the RDS instance address when the proxy is disabled.
