mckero b4f3b28a39 Add the web remote control: live LCD plus clickable keypad
Flask app on the existing QMP socket. GET / serves the page, GET /stream is a
multipart PNG sequence at up to 15 fps, POST /api/key drives the keypad model.

The keypad takes discrete down/up rather than a fixed-duration tap, because the
firmware reads anything past 400 ms as a held key and dispatches it differently.
Letting the browser own the timing is what makes both short and long presses
reachable; tap stays available for scripting and is pinned between the 20 ms
debounce and the 400 ms hold, with a test asserting that range.

The stream only re-encodes when the framebuffer bytes change. The LCD is static
most of the time, so idle CPU stays near zero.

Unknown key names are rejected with 400 before reaching QMP, so a PTT button
cannot be added by accident. The front end releases on pointerleave,
pointercancel and blur, and /api/release-all is the safety valve for a key that
somehow stays down.

Verified against a live emulator over HTTP: /frame.png renders the dual-VFO main
screen, a MENU tap opens the menu at 01/79, and two DOWN presses reach 03/79.
19 unit tests, 41 across the whole suite.
