POL-125: Frontend visual upgrade — dark luxury pole dance theme

- New dark theme with rose/purple/gold accent palette
- Premium typography: Cormorant Garamond (display) + Outfit (body)
- Glassmorphism cards, gradient mesh backgrounds, glow effects
- CSS split into theme.css, utilities.css, animations.css
- Staggered fade-in animations on list pages
- Redesigned all pages: auth, championships, registrations, profile, admin
- Lucide icons replace emoji throughout
- Responsive mobile nav with hamburger menu
