Add plant catalog UI: /plants page + PlantPicker (#13)

- web/src/lib/plants.ts: zod-validated Plant schema + react-query hooks
  (list/create/update/delete) over the #12 endpoints, with the category enum,
  labels, isBuiltin helper, and a 409 conflict extractor.
- /plants page: searchable, category-chip-filtered grid of PlantCard; built-ins
  badged and offer only Duplicate; own plants add Edit/Delete. A local
  metric/imperial spacing toggle (no per-user unit pref exists server-side).
- PlantFormModal: create/edit/duplicate a custom plant (name, category, spacing,
  color, emoji icon, days-to-maturity, notes), unit-aware spacing, 409 rebase.
- DeletePlantModal: confirm + surface the server's PLANT_IN_USE refusal inline.
- editor/PlantPicker.tsx: reusable search-first chooser with recently-used
  (localStorage) and category filter, bottom-sheet on mobile / panel on desktop,
  onSelect callback. Demoed via the /plants "Try the picker" button until #15
  consumes it.
- units.ts: small-scale spacing helpers (cm/inches) + tests.

tsc --noEmit clean; 20/20 vitest; production build green.
