feat: Make Lucide icons globally available without Stimulus controller

- Replace unpkg CDN with npm package import in application.js
- Add global initialization for all Lucide icons on page load and Turbo events
- Remove dependency on lucide_controller.js and data-controller wrapper
- Icons now work anywhere with simple <i data-lucide="icon-name"></i> syntax
- Bundle size increased to include full icon set but removes controller overhead
