Nariman Jelveh b55782f066 GUI: add npm start --server=<domain> to run the GUI against a remote backend (#3481)
- npm start --server=puter.com (or -- --server=...) skips the local backend
  and serves the bundled GUI locally, pointed at the remote server's API.
  Bare domains resolve to https://api.<domain>; full origins are used
  verbatim. gui_origin points at the remote origin so /whoarewe, login,
  anti-csrf, socket.io, and builtin apps hit the real backend (CORS-open).
- --extensions=<dir>[;<dir>...] bundles out-of-tree GUI extension
  directories (sugar for PUTER_GUI_EXTENSION_PATHS). Their imports resolve
  as if the files lived in src/gui/src/extensions, with the extension's own
  files taking precedence, and bare imports fall back to the repo-root
  node_modules.
- Fix the bit-rotted dev-server: Express 5 wildcard routes, pass gui()
  params (previously called with none), inject the service_script shim,
  load bundle.min.js + bundle.min.css in prod mode, serve /sdk, and
  properly await the webpack build (it previously resolved immediately).
