files: PDFs, text, code, tables and certificates open in place

The file pane decided what to show by MIME type, and uploads keep a
type only when it cannot execute, so a .md, a .json or a .pem arrived
as application/octet-stream and got "no preview". It now goes by name
first (preview.ts), and a file with a name it does not know has its
first 8 KiB looked at: no NUL bytes and valid UTF-8 means text.

- text and code: the first 256 KiB with line numbers, as before
- markdown: rendered through the same sanitiser as documents, with a
  source toggle
- CSV/TSV: a table of the first 500 rows, quotes respected
- PDF: the browser's own viewer in a frame. Only a PDF is served
  without the sandbox CSP (Chrome's viewer will not start under it),
  with frame-ancestors 'self' and X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; the app
  CSP allows same-origin frames.
- certificates, keys, keystores: POST /api/nodes/{id}/inspect reads
  PEM (chains, keys, requests, public keys), DER and PKCS#12 on the
  server, in pure Rust, including the RC2/3DES keystores that
  openssl -legacy and older keychains write. It answers with subject,
  issuer, validity, key, names, usage and fingerprints, and pairs each
  private key with its certificate by public key. A password is asked
  for only when needed, used for that one answer and never stored;
  no key material is ever sent back. Sealed files are read through the
  vault, and only while it is open.

The tests read throwaway fixtures under src/routes/testdata, made with
the openssl commands listed beside them; .gitignore lets their .pem
files past a global *.pem rule.

## Files
A file is a node like a document, only with bytes instead of text: it sits in
a folder, shows its size in the list, and `Enter` opens it — images, video,
audio and plain text are shown in place, anything else is a download. `:name`
a folder, shows its size in the list, and `Enter` opens it. What is shown in
place:
- images, video and audio;
- PDFs, in the browser's own viewer;
- text and source code of any kind, recognised by its name or, failing that, by
its first few kilobytes, with line numbers and the first 256 KiB of it;
- markdown, rendered, with `source` to see it as written;
- CSV and TSV, as a table of the first 500 rows;
- certificates, keys and keystores — `.pem`, `.crt`, `.cer`, `.der`, `.csr`,
`.key`, `.p8`, `.p12`, `.pfx` — read on the server: subject, issuer,
validity, key, names, usage and fingerprints, and which key belongs to which
certificate. A `.p12` or an encrypted key asks for its password, which opens
it for that one look and is never stored. Nothing of a private key is ever
sent back but its algorithm and size.
Anything else is a download. `:name`
renames it, and the download is called whatever it is called now; `:mv`, `m`
and `p` move it; `x` deletes it. `:upload` picks files for the folder being
browsed, or drop them onto the list. Each upload is written to disk as it
