Julian Tabel 7ff271efba chore(auth-aware-ui-and-role-based-access-control): Expose admin status to frontend via user API
The frontend needs to know if the current user is an admin so it can show/hide the Admin nav link and protect admin routes client-side.

Add a `require_admin` FastAPI dependency that checks the `is_admin` column on the `users` table. Apply it to all admin-facing API endpoints (games CRUD, pokemon CRUD, evolutions CRUD, bosses CRUD, route CRUD).
## Checklist
- [x] Add `require_admin` dependency in `backend/src/app/core/auth.py` that:
- Requires authentication (reuses `require_auth`)
- Looks up the user in the `users` table by `AuthUser.id`
- Returns 403 if `is_admin` is not `True`
- [x] Apply `require_admin` to write endpoints in: `games.py`, `pokemon.py`, `evolutions.py`, `bosses.py` (all POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE)
- [x] Keep read endpoints (GET) accessible to all authenticated users
- [x] Add tests for 403 response when non-admin user hits admin endpoints
## Files to change
- `backend/src/app/core/auth.py` — add `require_admin`
- `backend/src/app/api/games.py` — replace `require_auth` with `require_admin` on mutations
- `backend/src/app/api/pokemon.py` — same
- `backend/src/app/api/evolutions.py` — same
- `backend/src/app/api/bosses.py` — same
## Summary of Changes
Added `require_admin` FastAPI dependency to `backend/src/app/core/auth.py`:
- Depends on `require_auth` (returns 401 if not authenticated)
- Looks up user in `users` table by UUID
- Returns 403 if user not found or `is_admin` is not True
Applied `require_admin` to all admin-facing write endpoints:
- `games.py`: POST/PUT/DELETE for games and routes
- `pokemon.py`: POST/PUT/DELETE for pokemon and route encounters
- `evolutions.py`: POST/PUT/DELETE for evolutions
- `bosses.py`: POST/PUT/DELETE for game-scoped boss operations (run-scoped endpoints kept with `require_auth`)
Added tests in `test_auth.py`:
- Unit tests for `require_admin` (admin user, non-admin user, user not in DB)
- Integration tests for admin endpoint access (403 for non-admin, 201 for admin)
