fix: persist dashboard metrics and count versions instead of repos

Metrics (downloads, uploads, cache hits) were stored in-memory only
and reset to zero on every restart. Now they persist to metrics.json
in the storage directory with:
- Load on startup from {storage_path}/metrics.json
- Background save every 30 seconds
- Final save on graceful shutdown
- Atomic writes (tmp + rename) to prevent corruption

Artifact count on dashboard now shows total tags/versions across
all registries instead of just counting unique repository names.
This matches user expectations when pushing multiple tags to the
same image (e.g. myapp:v1, myapp:v2 now shows 2, not 1).
