refactor(contacts): Implement multi-page Contact Management with advanced sorting

Split Contact Management into 3 dedicated pages for improved mobile usability:
- /contacts/manage - Settings & navigation hub (manual approval + cleanup)
- /contacts/pending - Full-screen pending contacts view
- /contacts/existing - Full-screen existing contacts with search/filter/sort

New Features:
- Advanced sorting: Name (A-Z/Z-A) & Last advert (newest/oldest)
- URL-based sort state (?sort=name&order=asc)
- Activity indicators: 🟢 active, 🟡 recent, 🔴 inactive
- Changed terminology: "Last seen" → "Last advert" (more accurate)
- Cleanup tool moved from Settings modal to Contact Management page

Technical Changes:
- Created contacts_base.html standalone template
- Split contacts.html into 3 specialized templates
- Refactored contacts.js for multi-page support with page detection
- Added 2 new Flask routes: /contacts/pending, /contacts/existing
- Removed cleanup section from base.html Settings modal

Mobile-first design: Each page has full-screen space with touch-friendly
navigation and back buttons.
