feat(home): Songs-like → dedicated row + wider spread (#1491)

Promote the best-performing surface ("Songs like {artist}", ~8% skip /
~86% completion) out of the shared Playlists carousel into its own Home
row on both Android and web, and widen the daily build from 3 to 6 mixes
so the dedicated row shows a wider spread.

Server (internal/playlists):
- PickSeedArtists candidate pool 5 → 12; pickSeedArtistsForDay now takes
  songsLikeSeedCount (6) instead of a hardcoded 3. Graceful degradation
  and daily rotation preserved.

Android (HomeScreen.kt):
- New songsLikeSection + buildSongsLikeRow; PlaylistsRow takes a title so
  it renders both the "Playlists" and "Songs like…" rows. buildOnlineRow
  / orderedRealPlaylists no longer reserve the 3 songs-like slots.
  Offline shows cached mixes (available-first), hides the row when none.

Web (+page.svelte):
- Dedicated "Songs like…" row from songsLikeRow; dropped the 3-slot cap
  and removed songs-like from the Playlists carousel.

Tests: seed_selection_test.go, BuildPlaylistsRowTest.kt, page.test.ts.
