fix: address multiple code quality improvements across backend and frontend

Backend fixes:
- Fix JWT sub claim: encode as str(user.id), decode with int() cast (python-jose requirement)
- Replace all deprecated datetime.utcnow() with datetime.now(timezone.utc)
- Replace deprecated FastAPI @app.on_event() with modern lifespan context manager
- Replace deprecated Pydantic class Config with model_config = ConfigDict(...)
- Replace deprecated Pydantic .dict() with .model_dump()
- Fix overly broad except (GmailInjectionError, Exception) → except Exception
- Remove unused GmailInjectionError import
- Fix TokenPayload schema sub field type from int to str

Frontend:
- Create frontend/src/lib/api.ts — API client module with auth, user, mail accounts, processing runs APIs
- Add !frontend/src/lib/ to .gitignore negation

Tests:
- Add 3 new JWT tests (sub string encoding, access token type, refresh token type)
- Update test_token_payload_schema for string sub claim
- All 128 tests pass
