feat: implement core figlet converter with live preview

Implemented Phases 2-4 of the implementation plan:

**Phase 2: Font Management System**
- Created font loading service with caching
- Added API route to list all 373 figlet fonts
- Implemented font metadata types

**Phase 3: Core Figlet Engine**
- Built figlet.js wrapper service for ASCII art generation
- Added async/sync rendering methods
- Implemented debounced text updates (300ms)
- Created utility functions (cn, debounce)

**Phase 4: Main UI Components**
- Built reusable UI primitives (Button, Input, Card)
- Created TextInput component with character counter (100 char limit)
- Implemented FontPreview with loading states
- Added FontSelector with real-time search
- Built main FigletConverter orchestrating all components

**Features Implemented:**
- Live preview with 300ms debounce
- 373 fonts from xero/figlet-fonts collection
- Fuzzy font search
- Copy to clipboard
- Download as .txt file
- Responsive 3-column layout (mobile-friendly)
- Character counter
- Loading states
- Empty states

**Tech Stack:**
- Next.js 16 App Router with Turbopack
- React 19 with client components
- TypeScript with strict types
- Tailwind CSS 4 for styling
- figlet.js for rendering
- Font caching for performance

The application is fully functional and ready for testing!
