refactor: separate aircraft and vessel server providers

+request helpers. `aircraft/` owns OpenSky state/fallback, military positions,

+websocket setup and route responses; `vessels/ais-store.js` owns record ingestion,

+`common/http.js` owns capped reads/coalescing; `common/query.js` owns query values.

+These plugins retain their existing process-scoped caches and server lifetime.
+Importing the entry does not start acquisition. The AIS plugin disposes its

+records without importing Node middleware or a renderer. Browser layer/controller
+separation is outside this server extraction.

+Standalone aircraft routes now live in `server/providers/aircraft/`: OpenSky
+state vectors and regional fallback, adsb.lol military positions, ADSBDB
+enrichment and track backfill. Vessel routes and websocket/watchdog setup live
+in `server/providers/vessels/ais-live.js`; AIS records and recent tracks live
+in `ais-store.js`. Common response caps, request coalescing and query parsing
+have their own modules. `server/providers/local.js` composes these with the
+remaining providers and retains existing named compatibility exports.
+
+`gods-eye-view/server/providers/live` is a Node-only entry for the existing
+plugins and shared request helpers. Importing it starts no sockets or timers.
+The existing aircraft normalizer is separately available through the portable
+`gods-eye-view/sources/adsb-lol` export. Provider URLs, local credentials, cache
+policy, fallback behavior, response shapes and rendering remain unchanged.
