feat: replace hardcoded navigation with CMS-managed models

Replace static nav/footer links with Wagtail-managed NavigationMenuItem
and SocialMediaLink orderables on SiteSettings. Unpublished pages are
automatically excluded from rendering, fixing the dead-link problem.

- Extend SiteSettings with site_name, tagline, footer_description,
  copyright_text branding fields
- Add NavigationMenuItem orderable (link_page/link_url, show_in_header,
  show_in_footer, sort_order) with automatic live-page filtering
- Add SocialMediaLink orderable with platform icon templates
- New template tags: get_nav_items, get_social_links
- Update nav.html and footer.html to render from CMS data
- Data migration seeds existing hardcoded values for zero-change deploy
- Update seed_e2e_content command for test/dev environments
- 18 new tests covering models, template tags, and rendered output

Closes #32

-            Wagtail's w-messages Stimulus controller only auto-clears messages
-            added dynamically via JavaScript (the add() method).  Server-rendered
-            messages — the <li> elements above — have no connect() handler and
-            sit in the DOM forever.  This script schedules their removal so they
-            auto-dismiss after the same timeout used for dynamic messages.
