mckero d76d95851f Apps on the page: list, install and erase overlay apps in the flash image
The Labs edition's apps live in the external flash, in the region its own App/apps/app_overlay.h defines (16 slots of 8 KiB from 0x102000, a 64-byte FAP1 header at the slot base, code one 4 KiB sector later), and upstream installs them from UVStudio over WebSerial. The page owns the image, so this adds GET /api/apps, POST /api/apps/<n> and POST /api/apps/<n>/erase, which put the same bytes at the same offsets with no serial protocol and no browser permission.

Measured on a real image while wiring it up: every one of the 16 slots already held data that is neither empty nor an app -- the localised build's factory resource block overlaps 0x102000 -- so install now refuses to overwrite anything that is not an app unless asked (--force, ?force=1), naming what is there. And _edit_flash edits a copy, which is why the source image shows no changed bytes; the first test read that as 'the install did nothing' and now checks FlashSlot.path. Tests: test_uvk5_apps grew to 20, test_webui.TestAppEndpoints adds 7 over the endpoints.

"""Overlay apps: where they live in the external flash, and what a .app contains.
The Labs edition of the F4HWN firmware runs small "overlay" apps -- Tetris, Breakout,
Plasma, Cube3D, Beam, Beacon, FoxHunt, BroadcastFM -- which the upstream UVStudio page
installs over WebSerial. This tool does the same thing to a flash **image**, which is
what the browser page in this repository owns: no serial protocol, no browser permission,
the same bytes at the same offsets.
The layout is the firmware's own, read out of the header it compiles rather than inferred
(`App/apps/app_overlay.h`):
APP_REGION_BASE 0x00102000 first app slot, right behind the two state markers
APP_SLOT_STRIDE 0x00002000 8 KiB per slot
APP_CODE_OFFSET 0x00001000 code starts after the slot's 4 KiB header sector
APP_SLOT_COUNT 16
So slot *n* holds a 64-byte header at `base + n*0x2000` and its code at
`base + n*0x2000 + 0x1000`. The header is `app_header_t`, little-endian and packed,
with magic `FAP1` and a zlib CRC-32 over the code -- the same CRC the multiboot loader
uses to validate a slot before offering RUN, which is why this tool checks it too.
The 64-byte header is shared with the multiboot slots: a slot whose header says `FMB1`
is a firmware, one that says `FAP1` is an app. That is how the power-on menu can list
both in the same four rows, and why "install to slot N" in UVStudio and "put a firmware
in slot N" in this page's slot table touch the same external flash.
