refactor: switch API from token auth to cookie-based session auth

- Remove API token system entirely (model, migration, middleware) - Add migration 007 to drop api_tokens table - Add POST /api/v1/login endpoint for JSON credential auth - API routes now use session cookies (same as web UI) - Remove /api/v1/tokens endpoint - HandleAPIWhoAmI uses session auth instead of token context - APISessionAuth middleware returns JSON 401 instead of redirect - Update all API tests to use cookie-based authentication Addresses review comment on PR #74.
feat: add JSON API with token auth (closes #69 )
