feat(help): in-app help center with per-screen guides and pictures

A help icon on every screen opens a panel with the screen's overview, its
sub-screens, task guides with a framed picture per step, search across guides
and the wiki, and a switch to any other screen's help. Guides exist for the
dashboard, Vacay, Atlas, Collections, Journey (list, journal, studio), Settings
(all tabs), Admin (all tabs) and the trip frame; the trip's own screens are
in progress. Pictures are produced by Playwright (client/e2e/help), texts in
all 23 languages.
