feat: add dark mode toggle with theme persistence

Implemented a simple dark mode toggle that persists user preference across sessions.

Changes:
- Add CSS custom properties for light and dark themes in App.css
- Create ThemeContext for global theme state management
- Create ThemeToggle component with moon/sun icons
- Update all color references to use CSS variables for theme support
- Add localStorage persistence for theme preference
- Include smooth transitions between themes

The toggle appears in the header next to the user menu and allows instant switching between light and dark modes.
