Juan Castro 202c43f46e feat(share): deep-link the shared item from email and notifications
A share email named the file but had nowhere to go: the only link was "Open
Puter", and finding what someone shared meant hunting for it under Shared. Each
named file in the digest now links to itself, and a notification covering a
single item points at that item.

The link carries one parameter, the masked path a recipient is already given:

    https://puter.com/?shared=%2Falice%2F<uuid>%2Freport.txt

Its second segment is the uuid, so there is no second copy of it to disagree
with the path, and the GUI can still find the entry when a rename has left the
name segment stale - it stats the path, then falls back to the uuid.

Built from the owner, uuid and name rather than from `ResolvedShare.path`.
That path is masked for whoever made the request, and the issuer owns the
entry, so it comes back as the owner's *real* path - mailing it would tell the
recipient which folders the owner keeps things in, which is the one thing
masking exists to prevent. A test asserts the real path never reaches the mail.

`digestLines` now returns `lead`/`items`/`trail` beside `what`, so the template
can put an anchor around each name while Handlebars keeps escaping the names
themselves; the URL is machine-built from the configured origin and one encoded
path, so it stays literal. Concatenating the parts reproduces `what` exactly,
which a test pins - the linked and sentence forms must not describe different
shares.

Notifications carry the masked path rather than a URL: the recipient is already
in the GUI, which opens the item in place instead of reloading. Only a
single-item notification gets a target; folding into a group drops it rather
than picking one of five.

In the GUI, `?shared=` joins `?download=` and `?app=` as a param that keeps the
desktop booting at `/`, and the handler reuses the `/@user` public-folder flow -
extracted to `open_path_target`, which carried a TODO asking for exactly this -
so a file opens in its associated app and a folder in an explorer window. The
param is stripped from the address bar first, so a reload lands on the desktop
rather than opening the item twice.

Invites are deliberately not linked: there is no account to route to yet, and
the invite's own call to action is to create one.

Rolling-deploy safe: a digest entry queued before this has `names` and no
`items`, and still flushes - without links. New entries write both, so a node
on the previous build can flush them too.
