Emi Griffith e819079bda Worldwide coverage: grade any point on Earth (#32)
Remove the US+Canada bounding box so every endpoint accepts any lat/lon.
The grading pipeline was already global-ready (ERA5 archive, timezone=auto,
day-of-year climatology), so opening it up is mostly deleting the guard —
plus the edge cases that only exist once the whole globe is in play:

- grid.py: snap() wraps longitude into [-180, 180) and clamps latitude, and
  cell centers are normalized so the polar row and the cells straddling the
  antimeridian always report valid coordinates to the weather/geocoding APIs.
  snap() and from_id() now share one _cell() builder, making id round-trips
  exact by construction (verified with a 300k-point global sweep).
- nav.js: neighbor-cell prefetch skips rows past the poles and wraps
  longitudes across the dateline instead of sending out-of-range queries.
- Nominatim reverse geocoding requests accept-language=en so place labels
  render in one script worldwide (matching the forward geocoder).
- mappicker: search suggestions are no longer filtered to US/CA, the
  placeholder and default map view are worldwide.
- calendar: season filter labels flip for southern-hemisphere locations
  (Dec-Feb shows as Summer); the underlying month groups are unchanged, so
  saved filter selections keep meaning the same months.

Verified end-to-end on a scratch server: Tokyo and Sydney grade with real
labels, a Fiji cell on the antimeridian's east edge builds and serves warm
hits from the derived store, and prefetch=1 on a cold cell still answers
204 without spending weather-API quota.

"""Snap an arbitrary lat/lon to a stable ~4-square-mile grid cell.
The grid is defined by fixed latitude rows (~2 miles tall). Within each row the
longitude step is scaled by cos(latitude) so cells stay roughly square (~4 sq mi)
at every latitude instead of getting skinny toward the poles. Cell ids are
deterministic, so the same physical location always maps to the same cache file.
Coverage is worldwide: any lat in [-90, 90] and any longitude (wrapped into
[-180, 180)) maps to a cell.
