feat(chat): add guest chat mode for unauthenticated users

- Add POST /api/chat/guest endpoint (no auth required)
- Add proxyGuestChat() method using configurable LLM endpoint
- Add streamGuestChat() function to frontend chat API
- Modify useChat to fall back to guest mode on auth errors (403/401)
- Remove !user check from ChatInput disabled prop
- Configure guest LLM via env vars: GUEST_LLM_URL, GUEST_LLM_API_KEY, GUEST_LLM_MODEL
- Default guest LLM: http://10.1.1.42:11434/v1 (Ollama) with llama3.2 model
