refactor: move supporters loading to separate API endpoint

- Add SupportersHandler in misc_handlers.py to serve /api/lm/supporters
- Register new endpoint in misc_route_registrar.py
- Remove supporters from page load template context in model_handlers.py
- Create supportersService.js for frontend data fetching
- Update Header.js to fetch supporters when support modal opens
- Modify support_modal.html to use client-side rendering

This change improves page load performance by loading supporters data
on-demand instead of during initial page render.
