feat: replace npm live-server with pure-Lua HTTP server (#29)
## Problem

The plugin requires users to install Node.js and the `live-server` npm
package globally. This is a heavyweight external dependency for what
amounts to a simple local dev-server workflow, and it creates friction
for users who don't otherwise need Node.js.

## Solution

Replace the npm shell-out with a pure-Lua HTTP server built on `vim.uv`
(libuv bindings), eliminating all external dependencies. The new server
supports static file serving, SSE-based live reload, CSS hot-swap
without full page reload, directory listings, and recursive file
watching with configurable debounce.

Minimum Neovim version is bumped to 0.10 for `vim.uv` and `vim.ui.open`.
The old `args`-based config is automatically migrated with a deprecation
warning.

Closes #28.
