refactor(server): extract the settings routes into routers/settings.py (R3)

GET/POST /api/settings, /api/settings/reset, and the two-phase atomic
export/import bundle (/api/settings/export|import) move to lib/routers/settings.py
with their exclusive helpers (the relpath allowlist validator, the atomic writer,
the library-DB snapshot + sqlite integrity gate, the config-type validator, the
bundle schema). Bodies verbatim except @app->@router and the seam reads:
meta_db->appstate.meta_db, CONFIG_DIR->appstate.config_dir,
_running_version->appstate.running_version(), and _default_settings->
appstate.default_settings (the canonical defaults builder stays in server.py —
the scan + artist-links code share it — and is injected as a new seam callable).

server.py: 5,539 -> 4,478 (-1,061).

Verified: pyflakes clean (bar the pre-existing File/safe_join/tuning_name/ET);
route table IDENTICAL (143); full pytest 2397 passed (154 settings cases incl the
export→import round-trip + library-DB snapshot/restore + relpath-allowlist SSRF/
traversal guards, retargeted onto the settings module). eslint 0.

BEHAVIORAL — needs an on-device settings export→import round-trip sign-off before
merge (do not merge on green CI alone).

+### R3c pre-lift baseline — 2026-07-10 (2D highway draw cost)
+
+The gate for the `highway.js` split. Captured on a seeded library (the 33 MB
+Arcturus feedpak) with the new `--song` mode, which measures **per-frame draw
+cost** — rAF callbacks are tagged via `highway.addDrawHook`, so only frames the
+highway actually painted count (the other ~half are cheap no-op loops that would
+otherwise mask a regression). Any `highway.js` change must re-run this on the
+same machine and stay within noise of these numbers.
