Implement skeleton loading states for dashboard and routes (P3.8)

Add skeleton loading components per specs/dashboard.md requirements:
- DecisionCardSkeleton: Shimmer placeholder for status and reason
- DataPanelSkeleton: Skeleton rows for 5 metrics
- NutritionPanelSkeleton: Skeleton for nutrition guidance
- MiniCalendarSkeleton: Placeholder grid with navigation and legend
- OverrideTogglesSkeleton: 4 toggle placeholders
- CycleInfoSkeleton: Cycle day and phase placeholders
- DashboardSkeleton: Combined skeleton for route-level loading

Add Next.js loading.tsx files for instant loading states:
- src/app/loading.tsx (Dashboard)
- src/app/calendar/loading.tsx
- src/app/history/loading.tsx
- src/app/plan/loading.tsx
- src/app/settings/loading.tsx

Update dashboard page to use DashboardSkeleton instead of "Loading..." text.

Fix flaky garmin test with wider date tolerance for timezone variations.

29 new tests in skeletons.test.tsx (749 total tests passing).
