postit: make Settings thread-safe and route PropertyChanged through UI dispatcher
The postit://callback re-launch crashed Avalonia inside DataValidationErrors.SetErrors with 'The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it'. Two Settings instances raced on PropertyChanged: one was the DI singleton registered by App.OnFrameworkInitializationCompleted, the other was a freshly-constructed fallback in LoginPageViewModel() and LoginPage.axaml.cs's DataContext-null branch. Avalonia's binding sink caught the cross-thread notification and crashed before the LoginPage could render. Fix at three layers: 1. Settings: lock the mutation gate so concurrent Load() / ApplyJson() callers cannot tear reads; override OnPropertyChanged to marshal every notification onto the Avalonia UI thread via a new UiDispatcher helper (no more cross-thread SetErrors). Add BindToServiceProvider / RequireCurrent so production code paths cannot silently allocate a second instance. 2. LoginPageViewModel(): resolve the canonical Settings from the DI container (Settings.RequireCurrent) instead of new Settings(). The cross-thread crash is now caught loudly with a clear 'Settings.Current is not bound' error if something instantiates the VM outside a bound App. 3. HomePage.axaml.cs and LoginPage.axaml.cs: resolve the next view-model and BlogApiClient through App.Services instead of constructing them with 'new'. Same instance tree as the rest of the app; the postit://callback race disappears by construction. MainPageViewModel and HomePageViewModel keep their existing '?? new Settings()' fallback for test friendliness, but the fallback is now harmless because Settings itself is thread-safe. Adds two regression tests in SettingsLoadTests covering concurrent Load+mutate and concurrent idempotent Load.
