feat(prefs): usePref — one per-account+server preference hook (E4 S1)

Fold the hand-rolled server-pref plumbing (savePrefs + local mirror + me-cache
merge + adopt-on-login) into a single usePref<T>(serverKey, default, opts) hook,
plus useSavePref for dynamic multi-key patches.

Migrated (6 savePrefs call sites + 2 duplicated adopt effects -> the hook):
- FeedViewProvider: view
- App: filterCollapsed, playlistsCollapsed (+ their adopt block removed)
- PlayerModal: playerAutoAdvance, playerLoop
- plexDetailUi: plexInfoArtBg/Cast/Related (savePref via useSavePref)

Left as-is by design: panel layouts (a dynamically-indexed Record, not one key),
language (i18n store, no React state), PrefsProvider (debounced multi-field
auto-save + baseline echo-suppression - a different model).

Behaviour-equivalent (net -84 LOC at the call sites). usePref.dom.test covers
the three seed sources, persist path, debounce, adopt, parse, and useSavePref.
Frontend gate green: typecheck, knip, eslint (0 err), prettier, 238 vitest.
