feat: Add portal health check system - auto-disable broken portals (#1539)

This commit implements a portal health check system that automatically
monitors portal health and disables broken portals.

## Changes

### New Component: PortalHealthCheck
- Added `nexus/components/portal-health-check.js`
- Background health check every 5 minutes
- HTTP HEAD requests to portal URLs
- Timeout handling (10 seconds)
- Retry logic (2 attempts before marking unhealthy)
- Auto-disable after 3 consecutive failures
- Auto-re-enable when reachable again

### Integration
- Added import in `app.js`
- Initialize after portals are loaded
- Start health checks automatically

### Visual Feedback
- Unhealthy portals are dimmed (emissiveIntensity: 0.3, opacity: 0.4)
- Tooltip shows "Offline: [error message]"
- Added CSS styles for offline state
- Status indicators (online/offline/checking)

### Configuration
- Configurable check frequency (default: 5 minutes)
- Configurable timeout (default: 10 seconds)
- Configurable retry attempts (default: 2)
- Configurable unhealthy threshold (default: 3 failures)

## Features
- Background health check every 5 minutes
- Unreachable portal → dim in world + tooltip "Offline"
- Auto-re-enable when reachable again
- No performance impact (HEAD requests, minimal bandwidth)
- Handles CORS issues gracefully
- Works with HTTP/HTTPS portals
- Skips non-HTTP portals (harness://, local://)

## Testing
- Verified JavaScript syntax is valid
- Tested with various portal types
- Tested timeout handling
- Tested retry logic

## Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Background health check every 5 minutes
- [x] Unreachable portal → dim in world + tooltip "Offline"
- [x] Auto-re-enable when reachable again

Fixes #1539
