Persist entry list view mode and dictionary preview pin per project

[myieye]

Summary

• Persists the entry list view mode (simple / preview) per project so it survives reloads.
• Persists the dictionary preview state (show / hide / sticky) per project, including the pin toggle.
• Both use the existing ProjectStorage infrastructure (project-scoped localStorage via IPreferencesService).

Implementation

• Added entryListViewMode and dictionaryPreview props to ProjectStorage.
• In BrowseView.svelte and EntryView.svelte, the preference is read via $derived from the storage prop's reactive current, with a fallback default and type guard. Writes go through Svelte 5's function-pair bind:foo={getter, setter} syntax — no effects or init flags needed.

Test plan

• Open a project, switch entry list to Preview, reload — list still in Preview.
• Pin the dictionary preview, reload — still pinned.
• Toggle dictionary preview to Hide, reload — still hidden.
• Verify a different project keeps its own setting independently.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR migrates two UI preferences from local component state to project-scoped persistent storage. New StorageProp fields are added to ProjectStorage, and BrowseView/EntryView components are updated to read and write these persisted preferences instead of managing local state.

Changes

Persist UI preferences to project storage

Layer / File(s)	Summary
ProjectStorage contract extension frontend/viewer/src/lib/storage/project-storage.svelte.ts	ProjectStorage adds entryListViewMode and dictionaryPreview as new readonly StorageProp fields, initialized in the constructor with project-scoped keys.
BrowseView entry mode persistence frontend/viewer/src/project/browse/BrowseView.svelte	BrowseView derives entryMode from persisted entryListViewMode instead of local state and updates the EntryListViewOptions binding to propagate changes back to storage via entryListViewMode.set().
EntryView dictionary preview persistence frontend/viewer/src/project/browse/EntryView.svelte	EntryView derives dictionaryPreview from persisted storage with validation, and updates the pin Toggle and ViewPicker bindings to read from and write back to dictionaryPreviewStorage.

Poem

🐰 A pair of views found their UI dreams come true,
Stored safe in project vaults, persistent through and through.
Entry modes and preview peeks, now remembered with care,
The storage rabbit hops along, dancing through the air! 🌟
