Overhaul the admin interface to reduce navigation depth for game data management and add proper run administration.

## Problems

1. **Game data navigation is too deep** — Adding an encounter requires navigating Games → Game Detail → Route Detail (3 levels). This is rare but painful when needed.
2. **No way to search across admin entities** — You have to manually drill down through the hierarchy to find anything.
3. **Run admin is view+delete only** — Clicking a run row immediately opens a delete confirmation. No way to edit name, status, owner, visibility, or other metadata.

## Solution

### Game Data Navigation
- Add a **global search bar** to the admin layout header that lets you jump directly to any game, route, encounter, or pokemon by name
- Add **flattened views** for routes (`/admin/routes`) and encounters (`/admin/encounters`) as top-level admin pages with game/region filters, so you don't have to drill down through the game hierarchy

### Run Administration
- Add a **slide-over panel** that opens when clicking a run row (replacing the current delete-on-click behavior)
- Panel shows editable metadata: name, status, owner, visibility, rules, naming scheme
- Add admin-only backend endpoint for owner reassignment
- Keep delete as a button inside the panel (not the primary action)

## Success Criteria

- [ ] Global admin search bar in layout header
- [ ] Flattened routes page (`/admin/routes`) with game filter
- [ ] Flattened encounters page (`/admin/encounters`) with game/route filters
- [ ] Admin nav updated with new pages
- [ ] Run slide-over panel with metadata editing
- [ ] Admin endpoint for owner reassignment
- [ ] Delete moved inside slide-over panel
