Fix payment display and dashboard refresh functionality

- Fix 'paid in full for others' payments showing CHF 0.00 instead of actual amount
- Add time-based sorting to payments (date + createdAt) for proper chronological order
- Redirect to dashboard after adding payment instead of payments list
- Implement complete dashboard refresh after payment deletion via modal
- Fix dashboard component reactivity for single debtor view updates
