Claude c54ae352a1 Word (.docx) documents as sites, via docx-preview
A site whose path is a local .docx renders as pages in the kiosk instead
of Chromium offering a download. kiosk-app/docview.js maps the file URL
to docview.html (alongside slideshow.js, through main.js's new
resolveLocalSite) and pushes the file's bytes into the page from the main
process; the page renders them with docx-preview + jszip, both pure-JS
npm dependencies of kiosk-app (so online installs, Advanced -> Upgrade
and the offline bundle all pick them up - no LibreOffice).

- Scaled to the screen width (capped at 160%), scrolls normally.
- Re-checked every minute; a changed file re-renders from the top.
- Word's Symbol/Wingdings private-use bullet glyphs (U+F0B7 etc.), which
  render blank without Microsoft fonts, are mapped to Unicode (•, ▪, ...).
- Missing/unreadable/oversized (>50 MB) files and a missing library show
  a message instead of a blank page. .doc/.odt aren't supported.

Tested with the real main.js on Electron 44.5.1 under Xvfb + Openbox:
heading, coloured bold run, image, bordered table, bullets and a page
break rendered; wheel scrolling works; replacing the file while running
re-rendered the new document within the refresh. Offline bundle rebuilt
and contains docx-preview and jszip.
