Make public transport routes discoverable with shareable search

Browse source 
Add one-click examples and route search by number or metadata, with transport type, location and map-area filters. Preserve search filters and bounds in shareable URLs and restore searches on reload and browser navigation.

Validate with 91 passing tests, including desktop and mobile browser coverage, and strict mypy checks.

#### Features
- Search worldwide for public transport routes by route number, name,
destination, operator or network, with an optional transport type filter.
Click a result to load it; search uses Overpass and shows up to 50 matches.
- Narrow a route search with a location (for example, route `24`, location
`Bristol, UK`, transport type `Bus`). Choose a matching place to centre the
map and show its search boundary, or tick **Search this map area** to use
the current view instead. Routes may extend outside the search area.
- Share or bookmark the page URL after searching. It saves the route text,
transport type, selected location and exact area; opening it automatically
restores the filters and matching route list. Back and Forward restore
previous searches. Results reflect the latest OpenStreetMap data.
- Start with one-click examples: Bristol airport bus A1, Istanbul Metro M11,
or all M11 directions. No relation ID lookup is needed to try the tool.
- Enter a relation ID or OSM URL to load a route onto the map.
- Click stops in the sidebar list or on the map to set start and end points.
- Preview the selected segment highlighted on the map.
