feat(store): add sort, filter, search, and pagination to Plugin Store and Starlark Apps

Plugin Store:
- Live search with 300ms debounce (replaces Search button)
- Sort dropdown: A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author, Newest
- Installed toggle filter (All / Installed / Not Installed)
- Per-page selector (12/24/48) with pagination controls
- "Installed" badge and "Reinstall" button on already-installed plugins
- Active filter count badge + clear filters button

Starlark Apps:
- Parallel bulk manifest fetching via ThreadPoolExecutor (20 workers)
- Server-side 2-hour cache for all 500+ Tronbyte app manifests
- Auto-loads all apps when section expands (no Browse button)
- Live search, sort (A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author), author dropdown
- Installed toggle filter, per-page selector (24/48/96), pagination
- "Installed" badge on cards, "Reinstall" button variant
