feat(web): use CSS linear() for spring animations

Replace the hardcoded cubic-bezier spring approximation with a real
spring physics simulation that generates CSS linear() easing points.
This matches native iOS/Android spring behavior much more closely.

- Add damped spring simulator (120Hz, downsampled to 60fps output)
- Cache generated linear() strings by spring params
- Lazy feature detection with cubic-bezier fallback
- Duration now derived from simulation settling time (uses stiffness)
