Add "Backup" action to download a project's /workspace as .tar.gz

Adds a manual backup button on each project card (next to Start/Reset when stopped, and next to Files when running) that saves a gzipped tarball of the container's /workspace to a host path via the native save dialog. Backend: download_container_backup runs `tar czf -` inside the container (so excludes + compression happen there rather than streaming a 16 GB workspace) and pipes stdout straight to the chosen file. Regenerable build artifacts (node_modules, target, .git/objects) are excluded so the archive stays restore-sized. Returns bytes written; stderr is captured for error reporting and a zero-byte result is treated as failure. Works whether the container is running or stopped (only requires that it exists). Verified on the Ubuntu/GNU-tar container base. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
