Climate hub: client-side search + alphabetical results (#110)

Add a search box to /climate that filters to a flat, alphabetical list of matching
cities (by city or country name), shown with their country; clearing it restores the
collapsible directory. The index is built from the already-crawlable links, so it's
a pure progressive enhancement (no SEO impact). Also sort cities alphabetically
within each country in the directory (were population-ordered).
