implement: Phase 25.5 device config from JSON file

- Create config/device.json with owner_name, car_model, device_name, avatar_path
- Update app_account.py to load owner_name and avatar_path from config
- Update app_car.py to load car_model and device_name from config
- Update base.html template to use avatar_path from config instead of hardcoded
- Add graceful fallback to hardcoded defaults if config file missing
- Document in deploy/readme.md and readme.md how to customize device identity
- Update PLAN.md Phase 25.5 to reflect current implementation and future server sync

Benefits:
- No code edits needed to customize Pi (edit JSON file only)
- Offline-first: all values loaded from local file at startup
- Connection-driven sync planned for Phase 25.5a (sync when internet available, not on timer)
- Server becomes source of truth after Phase 25.5a implementation

All 63 tests passing. Database filename still based on owner_name, with migration warning in docs.
