Migrate frontend build system from React Scripts + Craco to Vite

[konard]

🚀 Vite Migration Complete

This PR successfully migrates the GPTutor frontend from React Scripts + Craco to Vite for faster development and build times.

📋 Issue Reference

Fixes #380 - Перенести сборку на vite

✅ Implementation Summary

Build System Changes

• ✅ Replaced react-scripts (v5.0.1) and @craco/craco with vite (v4.4.5)
• ✅ Added @vitejs/plugin-react for React support
• ✅ Updated npm scripts: start, build, preview, and test

Configuration Files

• ✅ Created vite.config.ts with proper alias configuration matching the original Craco setup
• ✅ Updated tsconfig.json for Vite compatibility (ES2020, bundler module resolution)
• ✅ Added tsconfig.node.json for Vite configuration files
• ✅ Removed craco.config.js (no longer needed)

Path Aliases Preserved

All existing path aliases are maintained in the new Vite config:

alias: {
  '$/api': 'src/api',
  '$/components': 'src/components', 
  '$/entity': 'src/entity',
  '$/hooks': 'src/hooks',
  '$/icons': 'src/icons',
  '$/panels': 'src/panels',
  '$/modals': 'src/modals',
  '$/services': 'src/services',
  '$/utility': 'src/utility',
  '$/NavigationContext': 'src/NavigationContext',
  '$/TabbarApp': 'src/TabbarApp'
}

Environment & Settings

• ✅ Maintained original HTTPS and port 10888 configuration
• ✅ Created missing env.js file that was referenced in index.tsx
• ✅ Configured sourcemap generation to match original setup (disabled)
