Hide Payroll Frequency from UI

Problem Context

The user requested to hide or remove the "Payroll Frequency" dropdown from the /hr/payroll-runs interface. Since different employees have different pay types (e.g., Daily, Monthly, Semi-Monthly) in the same run, having a single frequency field on the Payroll Run level is confusing and implies a conflict.

Goal

Remove the payroll_frequency selection from the user interface and handle it automatically on the backend to prevent user confusion.

Proposed Changes

Frontend (React/Inertia)

[MODIFY] `resources/js/Pages/hr/payroll-runs/index.tsx`

Action: Remove the payroll_frequency Select field from the Create Payroll Run modal.
Action: Remove the payroll_frequency Select field from the Edit Payroll Run modal.
Action: Remove the "Payroll Frequency" column from the main data table view (if it exists).

Backend (Laravel)

[MODIFY] `app/Http/Controllers/PayrollRunController.php`

Action: Update the store and update methods.
Action: Remove payroll_frequency from the $request->validate() rules.
Action: Dynamically inject a default payroll_frequency = 'semi-monthly' into the payload before creating or updating the PayrollRun model. Alternatively, dynamically calculate the frequency based on the days difference between pay_period_start and pay_period_end.
Action: Remove payroll_frequency from the export CSV mapping and fileImport mapping to ensure consistency.

Verification

Generate a new payroll run via the UI and confirm the frequency dropdown is completely gone.
Verify that validation still passes and the database record is created successfully with the default/calculated frequency.
