feat: improve accessibility across the app

- add useDialogA11y hook: focus trap, Escape handling, and focus restore
  for all custom modal dialogs (Modal, ThemeSelector, Admin modals)
- add skip link, per-route document titles, and focus shift to main on
  SPA route changes
- make notification list items real buttons (keyboard operable) and show
  hover-only controls on keyboard focus
- close sidebar, dropdowns, and context menus with Escape, returning
  focus to their triggers; mark closed mobile sidebar inert
- associate missing form labels (2FA code, DateTimePicker), add missing
  aria-labels on icon-only buttons, aria-expanded/controls on toggles,
  aria-pressed on theme tiles, scope=col on table headers
- announce loading states via role=status
- respect prefers-reduced-motion
- new i18n keys: common.skipToContent/previous/next, admin.userActions
