feat(demo): reset the demo instance every 20 minutes with a countdown

DEMO_RESET_MINUTES (default 20, 0 = off) resets the database to the
sample data. Demo accounts get fixed IDs so sessions survive; requests
hold a read lock so the reset never runs under a half-finished request
(streams excluded). DEMO_RESET goes to every connection, /auth/status
announces the next reset. The app shows "✨ Demo · Reset in MM:SS" in
place of the version, then clears cached answers, remounts the views,
reloads in the background and shows a short notice; if no event
arrives (long polling) it asks the server after the countdown.

 * **Reverse-Proxy:** Am besten WebSocket-Upgrade und ungepufferte SSE-Streams durchreichen. Blockiert ein Proxy beides, funktioniert MindSift trotzdem über Long-Polling bzw. regelmäßige Abfragen, nur etwas träger. Beispiele für Nginx, Traefik, Caddy und Cloudflare: [Doku/reverse-proxy.md](Doku/reverse-proxy.md).
 * **Datensicherung:** Alle Daten liegen in `data/mindsift.db` (+ `-wal`/`-shm`). Sichere sie mit `sqlite3 mindsift.db ".backup 'backup.db'"` oder bei gestopptem Container. Zusätzlich gibt es einen JSON-Export pro Benutzer.
