Shadowbroker 19fb7f0b1e Fix #288: viewport-scoped live-data for heavy layers only (#294)
Reported by @tg12 in the external security/correctness audit.

Before this change, /api/live-data/{fast,slow} accepted s/w/n/e query
params but their Query() descriptions explicitly said "(ignored)". The
endpoints shipped the full in-memory world dataset on every poll:

    /api/live-data/fast → 16.88 MB
    /api/live-data/slow → 10.12 MB
                          ── 27 MB per poll cycle, regardless of zoom

For a node with N operators each polling at the steady 15s/120s cadence,
this is hundreds of MB/minute of outbound traffic that never gets used —
the GPU just culls everything outside the viewport client-side. On a
Tor-bridged or LTE-backed node, that bandwidth bill is the actual cost.

This change makes the existing s/w/n/e params honored — when all four
bounds are supplied, the backend bbox-filters a curated set of heavy,
density-driven, time-sensitive collections to that viewport (with the
existing 20% padding from _bbox_filter):

    /fast: commercial_flights, military_flights, private_flights,
           private_jets, tracked_flights, ships, cctv, uavs, liveuamap,
           gps_jamming, sigint, trains
    /slow: gdelt, firms_fires, kiwisdr, scanners, psk_reporter

Static reference layers (satellites, datacenters, military_bases,
power_plants, satnogs, weather, news, stocks, etc.) deliberately STAY
world-scale so panning never reveals an "empty world" of infrastructure.
That preserves the no-hostile-UX feel of the existing dashboard.

Behavior contract:

  * Without bbox params (or with a partial bbox), the response is
    byte-for-byte identical to the pre-#288 implementation. No
    behavior change for any existing caller that hasn't opted in.
  * World-scale bbox (lng_span >= 300 or lat_span >= 120) short-circuits
    filtering and shares the global ETag — zoomed-out operators all
    hit the same 304 cache exactly like before.
  * ETag now mixes a 1°-quantized bbox suffix when filtering engages,
    so two viewports never poison each other's 304 cache. Sub-degree
    pans land in the same ETag bucket (i.e. don't bust the cache on
    every mouse drag).

Polling cadence, rate-limit windows, and the 304 short-circuit are all
unchanged. Only the SIZE of the responses changes, and only when the
caller opts in via bounds.

Frontend wiring: useViewportBounds reuses the same coarsened/
expanded bounds it already computes for the AIS /api/viewport POST and
pushes them into a new module-level liveDataViewport store.
useDataPolling reads from that store via appendLiveDataBoundsParams
when building each live-data URL.

Tests cover: no-bbox → world data; bbox → heavy layers filtered;
bbox → reference layers untouched; world-scale bbox → no filter;
partial bbox → treated as no bbox; ETag changes with bbox; sub-degree
pan → same ETag; 304 path works; antimeridian-crossing bbox handled.
