feat(ui): show relative timestamps on Dashboard and Downloads tables

Converts the Source Health last-check column and the Downloads created-at
column from locale date strings to human-relative times ("6 hours ago").
The absolute timestamp is preserved as a native browser tooltip so full
precision is still one hover away; detail modals keep the absolute form.
