/**
* DotPattern Component
*
* A React component that creates an animated or static dot pattern background using SVG.
* The pattern automatically adjusts to fill its container and can optionally display glowing dots.
*
* @component
*
* @see DotPatternProps for the props interface.
*
* @example
* // Basic usage
* <DotPattern />
*
* // With glowing effect and custom spacing
* <DotPattern
* width={20}
* height={20}
* glow={true}
* className="opacity-50"
* />
*
* @notes
* - The component is client-side only ("use client")
* - Automatically responds to container size changes
* - When glow is enabled, dots will animate with random delays and durations
* - Uses Motion for animations
* - Dots color can be controlled via the text color utility classes
