feat(models): add group-by-model option to collapse multiple versions into one card

Adds a 'Group by Model' toggle in Layout Settings. When enabled, only the
latest version (highest civitai.id) of each Civitai model is shown as a
single card — older versions sharing the same modelId are hidden.

Backend dedup runs in BaseModelService.get_paginated_data() before
filtering/pagination, ensuring correct paginated results. The setting
is persisted via the existing settings pipeline and passed as a query
parameter to the listing endpoint.

Includes:
- Backend: dedup logic, route param parsing, settings default
- Frontend: API param, SettingsManager wiring, toggle UI
- i18n: translations for all 10 locales
- Tests: unit test covering dedup on/off and standalone items
