Some routes/locations don't have wild encounters but are still relevant for gameplay — particularly for hatching eggs. Currently these locations are hidden or not useful in the run view since they have no encounters to log.

Add support for displaying locations that have no encounters in the run view, so players can track egg hatches or other location-based events there.

## Checklist

- [ ] Determine how encounter-less routes should appear in the run view (e.g. different visual treatment, no encounter status dot)
- [ ] Update route filtering logic to include routes without encounters when relevant
- [ ] Add ability to log an egg hatch at a location (new encounter type or dedicated UI)
- [ ] Consider whether these locations need an admin-side flag (e.g. `show_without_encounters`) or if all routes should always be visible
- [ ] Allow a wildcard Pokemon on all routes for cases where the player hatches a Pokemon there or encounter data is incorrect
