feat: add open settings location endpoint

- Add `open_settings_location` method to `FileSystemHandler` to open OS file explorer at settings file location
- Register new POST route `/api/lm/settings/open-location` for settings file access
- Inject `SettingsManager` dependency into `FileSystemHandler` constructor
- Add cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux file explorers
- Include error handling for missing settings files and system exceptions
