feat: pending-verification count badge in sidebar

- AdminSidebar: new badgeCounts prop (Record<string, number>); Verification
  Management nav item shows an orange pill badge when pendingVerifications > 0
  (both expanded and collapsed states)
- AdminShell: fetch /api/admin/verifications?status=PENDING on mount and
  poll every 60 s; passes count as badgeCounts to AdminSidebar — badge updates
  automatically as users submit role-registration wizards
- ESLint config: turn off solid/style-prop (whole codebase uses string styles),
  no-explicit-any (complex admin data shapes), add varsIgnorePattern/
  destructuredArrayIgnorePattern: '^_'; fix pre-existing unused
  User/GlobalSearch/ShowTabs/pageTitle symbols and return-once violation in
  _ShowTabs
