refactor(toc): cache navigable structure per book (#3869)

* refactor(toc): cache TOC + section fragments per book

Moves the TOC regrouping and section-fragment computation out of
foliate-js/epub.js #updateSubItems into the readest client as
computeBookNav / hydrateBookNav in utils/toc.ts. The result is
persisted to Books/{hash}/nav.json — capturing the book's full
navigable structure (TOC hierarchy + sections with hierarchical
fragments). Compute once, persist locally, hydrate on subsequent
opens. Designed to serve current human-facing navigation (TOC
sidebar, progress math) and future agentic navigation (LLM-driven
seeking by structural location).

Versioned by BOOK_NAV_VERSION for forward invalidation. Existing
books regenerate transparently on next open.
