  1. Migrate legacy ntext/text columns to use varchar. 

    Note that with newer MSSQL collation they're deprecated and in future
SQL versions will be fully removed.

Also I updated the layout of K_NPCPOS to match how it is officially and
with the N3ME and server files loading order.

  2. Migrate all columns from CHAR to VARCHAR datatype. 

    CHAR columns caused inconsistencies due to fixed length and padded
whitespaces, leading to inefficient IO and server operations. VARCHAR
handles variable-length strings more compactly, saving space and improving
performance for our use case. This migration resolves misuse and optimizes
storage and processing efficiency.
