refactor(client): migrate state management from React Context to Jotai

Replace AuthProvider and SyncProvider with Jotai atoms for more granular
state management and better performance. This migration:

- Creates atoms for auth, sync, decks, cards, noteTypes, and study state
- Uses atomFamily for parameterized state (e.g., cards by deckId)
- Introduces StoreInitializer component for subscription initialization
- Updates all components and pages to use useAtomValue/useSetAtom
- Updates all tests to use Jotai Provider with createStore pattern
