Add better static file handling

[mrjvs]

Changes:

• Replaced web/robots.ts, console/web.ts and web/pwa.ts with a static file router: console/static.ts
• Static files are now handled with express.static(). This will give us better caching and will make cloudflare more speedy.
  • This also fixes content-type issues, as it's now using the mimetype based on file extension
• All webfiles assets are now placed on /assets. Example for portal: /assets/portal/css/juxt.css
  • Placing them all in a subfolder will make caching rules easier and allows for a proper 404 if not found, which also helps cloudflare caching.
  • Had to make an exception for notification images, as they are hardcoded in the db
• Robots.txt, manifest.json and favicon.ico are now on root on all platforms
• Entrypoint of the webapp is now in it's own router file, instead of next to the static assets

Notes:

• One point of discussion in [Enhancement]: Serve static files statically #367 was if the platform should be dynamically routed (/assets/my-file) or done statically (/assets/ctr/my-file)
  • I have the preference doing it statically. It makes it way easier to wrap your head around how static files are routed (the path is the same as in /webfiles). It also doesn't rely on the domain as cache key (so maybe we can do path based routing on dev at some point)
  • I'm still open to have a discussion about it, it's relatively easy to change in this PR

Resolves #367

Pull request overview

This PR refactors static asset delivery in juxt-web by replacing custom per-file routers with an express.static()-based router, and reorganizing asset URLs under /assets while keeping a small set of global files at the domain root.

Changes:

• Introduces staticRouter (express.static) for /assets and root-global files (/robots.txt, /manifest.json, /favicon.ico), and adds an entrypointRouter for / -> /titles/show.
• Updates web/portal/ctr React views to reference the new /assets/<platform>/... asset paths and the root /manifest.json.
• Updates build output copying to include webfiles/global/* in dist/.

Looks good. I'm fine with letting esbuild handle the background.png bundling.

Still want to have @ashquarky's input on the platform namespacing before it gets merged
