VAPP-26: Server administration page

Adds a site-admin Server page at /admin that surfaces the four admin-only control actions the console never used: serverversion, serverconfig (read-only config dump), serverBackup (back up now), and serverconsole. Frame shapes were verified against vervain-server's crates/meshcentral-web/src/user_session.rs dispatch.

Server fns (`src/server_fns/mod.rs`)

All four use control::ADMIN_ONLY_TIMEOUT, so a non-admin (the server silently drops the action) gets the explanatory error quickly rather than a 10s hang.

get_server_version() joins the serverversion reply tags into a label (empty until the server-update feature lands upstream).
get_server_config() returns the serverconfig data text, or None when the server has no config file.
server_backup() acks serverBackup with the written path as result (not "ok"); the no-database, not-configured, and leading error: sentinels are mapped to inline errors instead of being treated as success.
server_console(command) sends serverconsole and returns the reply value.

Page (`src/components/pages/admin.rs`)

Version, config, and relay stats (reused from get_relay_stats) load in one server future, so a non-admin sees a single explanatory error for the page rather than four broken cards (the Plugins/Relays admin-only timeout precedent).
Configuration is a read-only monospace pane with a note that runtime editing is unsupported by vervain-server.
Backup is a "Back up now" button with a busy state; it reports the written path or the server's error inline.
Console keeps a session-local scrollback of command/reply pairs (not persisted); unknown commands render the server's own response.

Also: new /admin route, sidebar "Server" entry below Relays, topbar title, and PartialEq on RelayStats so it can pass as a component prop.

Acceptance criteria

/admin renders version, config dump (read-only), backup button, and console for a site admin
Backup reports success (path) or the server's error inline
Console commands send and render replies in a scrollback; unknown commands surface the server's response
Non-admin users get a single explanatory error instead of broken cards
just check passes

## VAPP-26: Server administration page Adds a site-admin **Server** page at `/admin` that surfaces the four admin-only control actions the console never used: `serverversion`, `serverconfig` (read-only config dump), `serverBackup` (back up now), and `serverconsole`.

Add a site-admin Server page at /admin surfacing the four admin-only control actions the console never used: serverversion, serverconfig (read-only config dump), serverBackup (back up now), and serverconsole.

Server fns over the control channel with the admin-only timeout: get_server_version (joins the serverversion tags), get_server_config (the config.json text, None when absent), server_backup (acks with the written path; the no-database / not-configured / error: sentinels surface inline rather than treating them as success), and server_console (one command, returns the reply text). Frame shapes verified against vervain-server's user_session.rs dispatch.

The page loads version, config, and stats (reused from get_relay_stats) in one server future so a non-admin, for whom every action is silently dropped, gets a single explanatory error instead of four broken cards (the Plugins/Relays admin-only timeout pattern). The config pane is read-only monospace with a note that runtime editing is unsupported; backup reports the path or the server error inline; the console keeps a session-local scrollback of command/reply pairs. New /admin route, sidebar "Server" entry below Relays, and topbar title. RelayStats gains PartialEq so it can pass as a component prop.
