fix: resolve TypeErrors in core, events, and journals modules

- Core: Use FormData in video clip components to fix EventTarget errors.
- DB: Rename 'File' to 'ae_LocalFile' in db_core to prevent DOM type shadowing.
- API: Strictly type 'order_by_li' across archives, events, and journals to match API definition.
- API: Fix 'enabled'/'hidden' parameter types in search functions.
- Generics: Add 'any' cast to 'processed_obj' in generic processors to fix indexing errors.
- Journals: Update journal_entry creation to return null on failure, fix missing ID fields in DB save.
