Stage 7 polish: app shell + nav + lobby + settings (Parts A/B/C)

- Screen.svelte shell: nav bar grows, ad+content+tabbar pinned bottom (mobile feel)
- AdBanner.svelte + banner.ts rotator (params, mock long/short, linkify); Header CSS chevron + grow; Menu (bigger CSS hamburger); TabBar + HoldConfirm shared components; user-select:none
- Lobby: hide-empty sections, tab order New/Tournaments/Stats, place-based result badges (result.ts)
- Settings: Board style > Labels (beginner/classic/none) + prefs plumbing (boardlabels.ts); i18n keys + ru mirror
