fix(push): Apple rejected the notifications; use the site's own URL as VAPID subject
Every Web Push to an iPhone or a Mac was refused, silently as far as the person waiting for the reminder could tell. The cause was the VAPID "sub" claim: on an instance with no mail configured it fell back to mailto:verdande@example.invalid, and Apple answers 403 Forbidden to a mailto whose domain is made up. Verified against web.push.apple.com on the live subscriptions — that mailto gets a 403, the instance's https URL a 201. So the subject is now a real mailto when SMTP.From is a real address, and otherwise the instance's own https base URL — which is a valid VAPID subject, points at something that exists, and every push service including Apple accepts. Two things found alongside it, both fixed: - A successful push did not clear the failure count. A subscription drops at ten failures, and all four live ones sat at nine from this bug — one flaky push from being deleted despite working. MarkPushDelivered zeroes the count and moves last_used_at on every delivery, so a subscription that recovers is not still carrying its old failures toward the cliff. - A reminder with no project made a notification whose URL was "/projekt/" — a dead link. Empty project now points at the app root. Test: the subject is a real mailto when there is one, and the https URL when there is not — including for the localhost default, which is not a real address.
