refactor(settings): update paths and command execution

Updated BASE_DIR and various paths in settings.py to simplify path handling. Modified management commands to use a consistent runner script (`quackscape-manage`) for improved clarity and maintainability.

Addresses potential path issues and standardizes command usage.
