fix(api): rank nearest stations by true ground distance - #204
The nearest-stations endpoint gave wrong distances and could put the wrong station first. It measured in plain degrees and multiplied by 111.32 km, but a degree of longitude is shorter away from the equator. In Amsterdam every east-west distance came out about 1.64 times too long: Esso Marnixstraat came back at 1.444 km when it is 0.88 km away. Two things followed. A station 0.8 km east ranked behind one 1.0 km north, and the 10 km radius reached only about 6 km east and west. The Home Assistant integration reads this endpoint for its Nearest sensor, so the error reaches users there too.
Distance and the radius filter are now measured in metres on the globe (geography), in both the fuel and the EV queries. The filter uses the existing stations_geom_geography_idx, the same way route-stations already does.
Tests:
A new PostGIS integration test puts stations 0.8 km east, 1.0 km north, 9 km east and 11 km north of a point at 52° N. It expects the first three in that order, each within 2% of the true distance. On the old query it fails (North 1.0 km first, East 9 km missing). On the fix it passes.
A unit test checks that the radius goes in as metres and that the SQL uses geography.
tsc is clean and the endpoint's 13 unit tests pass.
CI does not run the integration suite (npm run test:integration needs Docker), so it was run separately against postgis/postgis:17-3.4.

Bug Fixes
Nearby station searches now use metre-based geographic distances, improving radius filtering and distance accuracy.
Stations are ranked and included based on their actual distance from the requested location, including more reliable handling of the search-radius boundary.
/api/stations/nearest measured distance in planar degrees times 111.32 and
never scaled longitude by cos(lat). At 52 N every east-west distance came out
~1.64x too long, so a closer station could rank behind a farther one and the
search radius was too narrow east-west. Measure distance and radius on
geography in metres instead; the filter uses stations_geom_geography_idx.

Walkthrough
The nearest-stations route now uses PostGIS geography measurements for radius filtering and station distances. Unit and integration tests check the metre-based radius and returned distances.
Unit tests check the 10,000-metre radius and geography expressions. The PostGIS integration test checks station inclusion, ordering, and distance accuracy.
The distance correction is mergeable with bounded follow-up: add EV-specific coverage so future changes cannot silently restore incorrect ranking or radius filtering. No current runtime failure is established.

The PostGIS test covers only E10, and the mocked EV tests do not check distance or radius. An EV-only planar-distance regression could pass. Add EV stations and assert their ordering, distances, and radius filtering.

Extend the nearest-stations tests to cover EV results using the existing mocked
EV test setup. Add EV stations that distinguish ground-distance ranking from
planar distance, then assert their returned ordering and distances and verify
that radius filtering excludes stations beyond the requested radius.
