2f0bda1e28 frontend: fetch City() concurrently with the page's primary API call

MonthPage and RecordsPage each made two backend calls sequentially
(CityMonth/CityRecords, then City) where the second never depended on the
first's result -- both are independent single-slug lookups. Waiting for
one full round trip before even starting the other was pure latency with
nothing to show for it.

fetchWithCity launches both concurrently via goroutines and a WaitGroup.
Verified live against a stub with an injected 400ms delay on both
endpoints: city page (1 call) and month/records pages (2 calls each) all
cost ~0.404s now, not ~0.404s vs ~0.8s -- the two-call pages no longer pay
double.

Error priority is preserved exactly: if the primary call fails, its error
wins even when City also fails or hasn't finished, matching the old
sequential code (which never called City() once primary had already
failed). The one real trade-off, called out in the comment: City() is now
always launched even on a request that's about to 404 from primary, so an
invalid slug costs one extra (wasted, cheap) backend lookup it previously
skipped -- worth it since a bad slug is the rare path and a good one is
the common path this speeds up.

Tests: happy path; primary-error-wins and city-error-surfaces (both single
and combined failure); and a deterministic concurrency proof via
rendezvous channels rather than timing (the old sequential code would
deadlock this test, not just run it slower). Full suite green under
`-race -count=2`. Docker build (which runs `go test` inside the image)
passes.

Ports frontend/ (Jinja2/FastAPI, ~1180 LOC) to Go with html/template. No
climate math, no DB, no auth -- every route fetches from the backend's
/content/* API.

Verified with a golden-HTML diff, not just unit tests: both the Python
original and the Go rewrite were run against the same committed fixtures
and every route compared byte-for-byte, confirmed programmatically. That
process caught defects unit tests alone missed, since map[string]any has
no compile-time field check:

- Render-context keys were snake_case throughout while the templates read
  PascalCase fields. A missing map key doesn't error, it silently renders
  empty -- title, meta description, canonical URL, OpenGraph tags, and the
  homepage's entire ranked list were blank on every page despite every
  route returning 200. Fixed by renaming every key to match each
  template's own documented field contract, and passing API structs
  straight through wherever their fields already matched (removes a whole
  layer of future drift risk).
- Three pages 500'd: ToolHref needed a composed href, not a bare
  "lat,lon" fragment; the records table needed the raw API struct.
- JSON-LD was double-encoded: <script type="application/ld+json"> is
  JAVASCRIPT context to html/template's escaper regardless of the
  script's type attribute, so template.HTML gets re-escaped as a quoted
  JS string. Needed template.JS. The glossary term page's JSON-LD was
  never built at all -- added.
- html/template silently strips literal HTML and JS comments from parsed
  output (verified in isolation) -- both need a FuncMap function
  returning template.HTML/template.JS to survive.

Packaging: 187MB -> 22.6MB. Two defects caught before reaching a host: the
Swarm stack's entrypoint override with no explicit command drops the
image's CMD entirely (every deploy would have exited 127), and
COPY --chown by name fails under the classic Docker builder on Alpine.
Both fixed.

go build/vet/test -race clean; docker build passes its embedded test step
under both BuildKit and the classic builder; shellcheck 0 findings.
