Resume paused time tracker

Resumes a paused time tracker by creating a new active interval starting at the current time.

When resuming a tracker, all other running trackers for the user are automatically paused (only one tracker can run at a time). This ensures accurate time tracking without overlaps.

The tracker will continue accumulating time until paused or stopped again.
