Hermes 391985cd42 fix(flags): replace hand-coded inline SVGs with official flag-icons assets ...

The previous inline flag SVGs were visually broken — most notably the
'en' Union Jack, which was reduced to a single X plus a cross and did
not resemble the real flag at all. The 'de' and 'ru' stripes also had
slight off-by-pixel rounding errors.

Switched to lipis/flag-icons (CC-BY 4.0) shipped as static files under
public/img/flags/. These are the canonical, professionally-designed
flag icons with correct proportions and all the details of the real
flags. Loaded via plain <img> tags (no JS, no external CDN at
runtime, no FOUC, no extra request after the page is cached).

Locale code mapping: en -> gb (per ADR-002, en = en-GB). Unknown
locales fall back to a 1x1 transparent gif so the layout stays
intact.
