Improve fresh install flow and auth page routing

- Move /setup out of protected (pages) route group so it's accessible
  without auth (fixes fresh install redirect loop)
- Redirect /login → /register when zero users exist
- Add "Get Started" button on landing page for fresh installs
- Hide register button/link when registration is closed
- Add auth redirects: logged-in users on /login or /register → /dashboard
- Convert register page to server component with server-side checks
- Fix animation snap on auth form buttons (transition-all → scoped)
- Update proxy middleware with /login and /register routes
