Improve performance metrics and enhance backup error handling

- Update benchmark results for `full-scan` and `dirty-scan` in `bench/dirty-vs-full.md` to reflect improved performance.
- Refactor error handling in `libmarlin/src/backup.rs` to provide clearer messages when the live database path is missing or invalid.
- Clean up code in `libmarlin/src/backup.rs` for better readability and maintainability.
- Minor adjustments in documentation and test files for consistency.
