merge: template-apply creates frame + grid-places devices inside

ApplyTemplate now creates a frame named after the template
('Living Room' etc, suffixed on collision), computes a uniform grid
(cols=min(ceil(sqrt(N)),4), rows=ceil(N/cols)), and places each
device inside the frame with frame_id set.

Frontend unchanged — activateProject re-hydrates the snapshot
including the new frame.

Tests cover frame creation + in-frame placement + name-collision
suffix. Verified on mDock: Living Room template → frame (200,200,
294×200) with TV/Soundbar at row 0 and ChromeCast wrapping to row 1.
