release(v1.7.13-alpha): proxy app catalog server-side (CORS + CSP fix)

The Discover / Marketplace page fetched the app catalog directly from
git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/app-catalog/raw/.../catalog.json in the
browser. Two blockers hit the fleet simultaneously: (1) tx1138's
Gitea doesn't emit Access-Control-Allow-Origin so the HTTPS fetch
got CORS-blocked; (2) the HTTP IP-port fallback
(http://23.182.128.160:3000/...) falls outside the node's
`connect-src` CSP. Users saw the hardcoded fallback instead of the
live catalog.

Backend: new authenticated GET /api/app-catalog handler uses reqwest
to pull catalog.json server-side (15s timeout) and returns it with
application/json + 1h Cache-Control. Tries the HTTPS URL first,
HTTP IP-port second.

Frontend: curatedApps.ts now calls /api/app-catalog (same-origin,
no CORS/CSP) with credentials included so the session cookie
authenticates the proxy. Baked /catalog.json stays as the last
resort.
