Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dflow-sh/dflow/issues/409

Description:

Create a migration script that allows users to seamlessly move their existing projects from Railway to any dFlow instance (cloud or self-hosted). The script should fetch project configurations, environment variables, and service definitions from Railway, then recreate them in dFlow with minimal manual input.

Acceptance Criteria:

Accept Railway API key and target dFlow instance credentials/URL as input.
Fetch project details, environment variables, and deployment settings from Railway.
Map Railway services to equivalent dFlow services (Docker/Dokku/etc.).
Transfer environment variables and secrets securely.
Optionally migrate persistent data (databases, volumes) if applicable.
Provide progress logging and a final migration summary.
Support both cloud-hosted and self-hosted dFlow instances.

Benefits:

Makes switching from Railway to dFlow frictionless.
Saves time by automating repetitive setup tasks.
Encourages adoption of self-hosted or cloud dFlow instances.
