[dark-mode] Phase 2.1-2.3: Create header theme toggle UI and functionality

- Add theme toggle button to header.twig with sun/moon SVG icons
- Implement accessible button with aria-label and title attributes
- Create ThemeToggle module for click handling and icon updates
- Add theme-toggle button styles to header.pcss with CSS variables
- Implement hover, focus, and active states for accessibility
- Update app.js to initialize ThemeToggle module
- Button position: right-aligned in header menu via margin-left: auto
- Icon display toggles based on current theme automatically
- Click handler toggles between light/dark themes and persists to localStorage
- All styling uses CSS variables (--color-text-main, --color-link-hover)
- Project builds without errors: npm run build-frontend and build-backend SUCCESS
- Update Tasks.md to mark Tasks 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 as complete

Build Status:  VERIFIED
- Frontend: 8 assets, 230 modules, 1 pre-existing warning
- Backend: TypeScript compilation successful
