feat: ADS-B historical playback map (closes #208)

- New GET /adsb/history/playback endpoint returns time-bucketed snapshots
  (one position per aircraft per N-second bucket) via a SQL window function
- Playback tab added to adsb_history.html: Leaflet map with animated
  aircraft markers, play/pause, 1x–20x speed, scrubber, and time display
- Configurable window (15 min – 24 h) and bucket step (10 s – 5 min)
- Requires the history Docker profile or INTERCEPT_ADSB_HISTORY_ENABLED=true
- Bump version to 2.32.0

+## [2.32.0] - 2026-07-07
+
+### Added
+- **ADS-B historical playback** — new Playback tab on the ADS-B history page. Loads time-bucketed snapshots from the Postgres history database and animates aircraft positions on a Leaflet map. Controls: configurable time window (15 min – 24 h), bucket step (10 s – 5 min), play/pause, speed multiplier (1×–20×), and a time scrubber. Requires the `history` Docker profile or `INTERCEPT_ADSB_HISTORY_ENABLED=true`. Backed by new `GET /adsb/history/playback` endpoint.
