Phase 1: Data Layer Modernization

This commit introduces build-time static data generation, replacing runtime
GitHub API calls for tools data. Key changes:

## New Build System
- Added scripts/build-data.ts: Fetches and consolidates tools data from
  static-analysis and dynamic-analysis repos at build time
- Added prebuild hook in package.json to run build-data before next build
- Data is stored in data/tools.json, data/tags.json, data/tool-stats.json,
  and data/tag-stats.json (all gitignored as they're generated)

## New Static Data Utilities
- utils/static-data.ts: Core utility for reading pre-built static data
- utils/tools.ts: Simplified tools API using static data
- utils/tools-with-votes.ts: Merges tools with votes data
- utils/firebase-votes.ts: Simplified Firebase votes fetching
- utils/tags.ts: Tags utility using static data
- utils/filters.ts: Filtering utility (moved from utils-api)
- utils/stats.ts: View statistics utility

## Updated Pages
- pages/index.tsx: Uses new static data utilities
- pages/tool/[slug].tsx: Uses new static data utilities
- pages/tag/[slug].tsx: Uses new static data utilities

## Build/Deploy Updates
- Dockerfile: Removed manual tools.json download (now handled by build-data)
- deploy.yml: Updated to hash generated data files for cache busting

## Benefits
- No runtime GitHub API calls for tools data
- Faster page generation (data is pre-fetched)
- Simplified data flow
- Old utils-api code preserved for backwards compatibility

Note: API routes and old utils-api code are preserved for now. The /tools
page still uses API routes which will be addressed in Phase 2 with
InstantSearch integration.
