Autocreate tables
Back to db.py, to ensure our tables exist when the app starts, we'll add a create_db_and_tables function. This reads all registered models (currently just Pokemon) and executes the necessary create table statements. We'll use a lifespan context manager to run this at startup, with cleanup code after the yield executing during graceful shutdown.
