feat(web): pluggable alternative-view registry for repositories

A repository can now expose specialized, read-only "views" chosen by the
shape of its tables, while the generic table browser stays available as a
fallback. A View fingerprints the tables (Applies), builds a model from
the browse layer (Build), and renders its own template; views register at
init time via RegisterView and are dispatched by slug at
/~user/db/view/{slug}. The overview shows a tab per applicable view.

The template loader parses each registered view's template with the
shared chrome, so a new view plugs in by adding two files (its .go with
init()+RegisterView and its .html) plus nothing else — no edits to the
registry, router, loader, or handlers. Build receives the request query
values so a view can offer sub-modes (e.g. a detail pane). No SQL engine
is involved; views read through the existing BrowseSession surface.
