fix(download): align location-step root selection with backend diffusion routing

The download modal's location step decided between checkpoint and unet
roots using only the CivitAI file-type signal, while the backend also
falls back to DIFFUSION_MODEL_BASE_MODELS. Models like Anima (file type
"Model") were offered checkpoint roots in the UI even though
use_default_paths would route them to the unet root.

- Extract the two-tier decision into py/services/download_routing.py and
  reuse it in DownloadManager._execute_download
- Add POST /api/lm/download/routing so the UI asks the backend for the
  routing decision; fall back to the local file-type check on failure
- ModelVersionsTab: search both checkpoint and unet roots when resolving
  an existing version's download path
