Two related gaps in how WROLPi serves Kiwix content:
1. A fresh WROLPi (or one whose zims are all corrupt/absent) showed a blank
Kiwix. Every image now ships a small built-in default Zim that Kiwix falls
back to, telling the user to download real Zim files.
2. The startup scripts hardcoded the `/zims` directory, ignoring wrolpi.yaml's
`zims_destination` (which the Python side already honors).
Changes:
- New wrolpi/scripts/read_config_value.sh: a zero-dependency (awk) reader so
non-Python scripts can reliably read top-level wrolpi.yaml scalars. Also a
config_value() wrapper in wrolpi/scripts/lib.sh.
- New wrolpi/scripts/default_zim/: HTML source + a reproducible builder
(ghcr.io/openzim/zim-tools) that outputs the committed wrolpi/blobs/default.zim.
- New wrolpi/blobs/: any committed blob here is copied to /opt/wrolpi-blobs by
the pi-gen and debian-live builds; the Docker zim image bakes it in.
- start_kiwix_serve.sh honors zims_destination and falls back to the default
Zim when no functioning zim is found.
- docker/zim/entrypoint.sh gains the same default-Zim fallback. It needs no
config read: it already scans the whole mounted media dir, and
zims_destination is always a subdirectory of that mount.
- Changing zims_destination via the settings API now restarts Kiwix so it
serves the new directory without a reboot.
Tests: new test_read_config_value.py, extended test_start_kiwix_serve.py
(configured dir + default-Zim fallback), and a root_api test for the restart.

The zim Docker image is FROM debian:13, whose kiwix-tools 3.7.0 rejects the
literal "--address 0.0.0.0" ("IP address is not available on this system"),
so the container failed to start after loading the library. Omit --address;
kiwix-serve then defaults to binding all interfaces.
This mirrors 9e92732a, which applied the same fix to the systemd
start_kiwix_serve.sh path.

* A new zim module has been added, this module allows several things to interact with Zim files.
* Allow searching of Zim files using libzim.
* Allow downloading of Kiwix projects (wikipedia, wikibooks, etc) on a schedule which replaces the outdated files.
* Creation of a new zim docker container which allows viewing of the Zim file contents.
* This commit also adds move/rename/mkdir features in the File Browser.
* File tags are preserved when moving/renaming.
