Subject: Add async branch/tag dropdown and latest-commit bar

Adds two lazily-fetched UI pieces to match vanilla GitHub while keeping
initial page loads plain server-rendered HTML: a branch/tag selector
(native <dialog>, CSS anchor-positioned to its button, light-dismissed
via closedby="any") and a latest-commit bar above the file listing.
Both are populated by new /api/:owner/:repo/refs/:type and
/api/:owner/:repo/latest-commit/:branch/:path routes; the latter calls
GitHub's own /latest-commit JSON endpoint (the same one the React UI
uses) rather than scraping the full commit history page.
