Subject: [PATCH] fix: HTTPS with self-signed cert for Web Crypto API support

Browsers disable crypto.subtle on non-localhost HTTP. The frontend server now
generates a self-signed TLS cert at startup and serves over HTTPS by default
(FRONTEND_TLS=true). FRONTEND_TLS=0 disables it for localhost dev.

Added axum-server (tls-rustls) + rcgen deps to the frontend-server crate.
