fix(web): trigger lineup next-page fetch before user scrolls past skeletons (#14351)

## Summary

The web Feed (and any other `TrackLineup`-driven page: Trending, Profile
Tracks/Reposts, Search, Listening History, Remixes, Contest Submissions)
felt like pagination was lagging: as you scroll down you'd see skeletons
appear at the bottom, but the next-page request didn't actually fire
until you scrolled *further past* them.

Root cause: regressed in
[apps#14286](#14286). The
bottom-of-list skeletons were changed from being gated on `isFetching`
to being gated on `hasNextPage`, which means they render persistently
any time there's more to load — not just during an in-flight fetch. With
`~15` skeletons at `~184px` each, they pad the `<InfiniteScroll>`'s
content height by `~2` viewports. `react-infinite-scroller` measures
distance to the bottom of *all* rendered content, so the threshold (also
`2 * viewport`) only fires after you've scrolled through both the loaded
tiles **and** the skeleton padding. The skeletons read as "loading" but
no fetch had been kicked off yet.

This PR:

- Restores the original "skeletons only while a page is in flight"
condition (`isFetching || isLoadMoreTriggered`), matching the
empty-state branch a few lines above. The bottom of the InfiniteScroll
content is now the bottom of the loaded tiles, so the existing
2-viewport threshold actually fires ~2 viewports before the last tile.
- Corrects `APPROX_TILE_HEIGHT_LARGE` from `124` → `184` (the desktop
tile is 144 body + 24 `mb='l'` + 16 parent `gap='m'`) so the in-flight
skeleton count actually fills the threshold area as the comment claims.

## Test plan

- [x] Open the Feed on web, scroll down — the next-page request fires
while the bottom of the loaded tiles is still ~2 viewports below your
viewport (check Network panel for `feed` calls), with skeletons
appearing only after the request is in flight.
- [x] Same on Trending (Week / Month / All-Time).
- [x] Same on Profile Tracks / Reposts, Search Tracks, Listening
History, Track Remixes, Contest Submissions.
- [ ] Mobile-web (`useWindow` path) at a phone-sized viewport — fetch
still triggers smoothly, no persistent skeleton padding.
- [x] Empty state still renders when a tab has no tracks.
- [x] Resizing the browser between pages still updates the threshold via
`ResizeObserver` (no regression to existing behavior).
