feat: folder ownership scoping, batch operations integration, frontend audit fixes

Backend:
- Add owner_id to Folder entity + FolderDto (DB user_id column)
- Add list_folders_by_owner to FolderRepository trait + PG impl
- Add list_folders_for_owner to FolderUseCase + FolderService
- Rewrite FolderHandler: all endpoints now scope by AuthUser
- Remove dead handler methods (list_folders_inner, list_folders_for_user, is_user_home_folder, folder_belongs_to_user)
- Add ownership check in get_folder (returns 404 on mismatch)

Batch operations:
- Add trash_service + zip_service to BatchOperationService
- New methods: trash_files, trash_folders, move_folders, download_zip
- New handlers: trash_batch, move_folders_batch, download_batch
- New routes: POST /api/batch/trash, /api/batch/folders/move, /api/batch/download

Frontend:
- Replace findUserHomeFolder (~130 lines) with resolveHomeFolder (~35 lines)
- Remove client-side folder filtering in loadFiles (backend now scopes)
- Rewrite batchDelete: N requests -> 1 POST /api/batch/trash
- Rewrite batchMove: N requests -> 2 POST max (files + folders)
- Rewrite batchDownload: N requests -> 1 POST /api/batch/download (ZIP)
- Search moved to backend, share system uses backend API
- Dark mode fixes, frontend audit improvements

- * the performance of repeated searches.
+ * All search processing (filtering, scoring, sorting, categorization,

+ * The frontend acts as a thin rendering client only.
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - Parallel recursive folder traversal using tokio tasks
+ * - Relevance scoring (exact match > starts-with > contains)
+ * - Content categorization and icon mapping
+ * - Multiple sort options (relevance, name, date, size)
+ * - Server-side formatted file sizes
+ * - Quick suggestions endpoint for autocomplete
+ * - TTL-based result caching
