feat: enhance transfer service with auto-deployment and logging

Refactor the TransferService component to include automatic deployment after successful transfers for various service types (application, compose, postgres, mysql, mariadb, mongo, redis). Implement logging functionality to capture transfer progress and errors, improving user feedback during the transfer process. Update related API routers to support these enhancements, ensuring a seamless transfer and deployment experience.
