Refactor ProjectCard layout to use backdrop image with content overlay - #4

Conversation
Two projects pointed at image URLs that no longer resolve, and the card layout couldn't cope with the result: - Community.Blazor.MapLibre referenced .../examples/globe.png, which 404s; the file in the MapLibre repo is render-globe.png. Hack The Flag hotlinked app.hacktheflag.net, which is not serving the logo. Both images are now self-hosted under public/img/projects/ so the cards no longer depend on another host staying up. - ProjectCard laid the text over a fixed 240px image block with absolute positioning, so longer titles and tech lists spilled past the top of the tile and were clipped, and a failed image left a white box with white text on it plus the browser's alt-text fallback. The card now uses the image as a backdrop layer with the text in normal flow: the tile keeps a 240px minimum height but grows with its content, the scrim and a dark fallback background live on the card itself so text stays readable with or without an image, and a broken image is hidden outright. Also keeps the hover buttons reachable via keyboard focus. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XVdiFBajKv1UbARQujNq5j
Same image as the hotlinked cod3rs.org/img/logo.png, fetched from the Cod3rs-org GitHub organisation avatar, so the card no longer depends on another host serving it. Hack Esbjerg still points at hack-esbjerg.cod3rs.org; that host and the project's repository are both out of reach from here, so its image was left as-is.

Summary
Redesigned the ProjectCard component to use a backdrop image layer behind text content rather than a fixed-height image block. This allows cards to grow with their content while maintaining readability through a tinted gradient overlay.
