fix(hub): drop hub PWA install to unblock standalone PWAs (closes #41)

Pre-#41 the hub shipped a Workbox SW with manifest scope `/`, which
claimed the entire app.ariege.io origin and made Chrome treat the
path-mounted standalones at /libra/, /market/, etc. as sub-areas of the
already-installed hub PWA — suppressing the install affordance for each
standalone.

Drop the VitePWA plugin from the hub entirely. The hub is a tile-grid
launcher; users install the standalones they actually use. Add a
decommission helper that runs on every hub boot and unregisters any
legacy hub SW, so users who installed the old hub PWA get cleaned up
automatically. Standalone SWs at deeper scopes are left alone.
