Call `vite` directly to build the frontend.

Calling through `npm` wasn't adding anything other than complexity, and it made it somewhat harder to follow what tools did what.

I'm also pretty sure `tools/build-ui` was totally unused.

This was originally part of [another proposal][pr-6]. I've broken it out to make the intent clearer, and to make the proposal easier to get a handle on in isolation from other, related changes. Thanks to @wlonk for their input on this!

[pr-6]: https://codeberg.org/ojacobson/pilcrow/pulls/6

Merges prop/build-without-npm into main.
