Feature: Add account-protected route to mark notifications as read

- Created /account/notifications/read endpoint secured by session middleware
- Ensured users can only mark their own notifications as read
- Updated dropdown links to point to /account/notifications/read?id={id}
- Improved notification security by matching user_id in DB update
- Added redirect flow to full notifications page after marking read
- Logged DB errors to assist debugging
