swarm-ui: client-local settings surface (theme + reduced-motion overrides)

Adds the settings surface + storage plumbing swarm-ui has been missing:
nowhere to put a client-local preference and no shared code for one to
build on. Scoped small per explicit direction ("small thing somewhere",
localStorage, theme and motion in scope for now) rather than a full
/settings route + nav entry for two toggles.

- frontend/packages/swarm-ui/src/lib/settings-storage.ts: generic
  useLocalSetting<T>(key, fallback) hook - read once, write through,
  stay in sync with other same-tab consumers of the same key via a
  small module-level pub/sub (localStorage's own storage event only
  fires cross-tab).
- frontend/packages/swarm-ui/src/lib/theme-apply.ts: tri-state
  system/light/dark override, applied by setting the 16 base16 custom
  properties inline on <html> (an inline style always outranks a
  stylesheet rule, including a media-query-gated one) - colors.css's
  own comment on its light-mode block already named this as the
  intended mechanism for a future override.
- frontend/packages/swarm-ui/src/lib/motion-apply.ts: tri-state
  system/reduce/allow override, applied as a data-motion attribute.
  Currently inert - swarm-ui has zero CSS animations yet - included
  because the marginal cost riding alongside the theme override is
  near zero and it was named in the same scoping answer; the first
  swarm-ui animation's own CSS is what makes this do anything.
- frontend/packages/swarm-ui/src/shell/SettingsMenu.{tsx,css}: a
  header icon-button + popover holding both selects, same shape as
  LinksMenu (manages its own state, not a ui/ primitive, hence no
  ComponentsPage demo - same exception LinksMenu already established).
- Shell.tsx/.css: mounts the two override-application hooks once
  (every route renders through one Shell), and wraps SettingsMenu +
  LinksMenu in a single .shell-header-actions flex wrapper so one
  margin-left: auto pushes both to the right edge together - two
  adjacent auto-margins on separate elements split the space between
  them instead of sitting flush.

Verified the override actually outranks the media query, not just
"looks right": seeded localStorage with each override value while
forcing the opposite OS-level prefers-color-scheme via headless
chromium, both directions render the stored override, not the forced
OS preference. Typecheck and build clean.

// <SettingsMenu> — a single header icon-button + popover holding the
// client-local overrides swarm-ui currently has (theme, reduced
// motion). Mirrors `LinksMenu`'s shape (icon button, popover, close on
// outside-click/Escape) — same "quiet chrome, not another nav item"
// affordance, not a coincidence: the operator, when asked how big this
// settings surface should be, said "small thing somewhere" since there
// are only two overrides right now — a full `/settings` route + nav
// entry would be over-building for two selects. Grows into a real page
// only if the setting count outgrows a popover; nothing here assumes
// it can't.
