feat(#59): LLM-assisted generation for all settings form fields

API endpoints (dev-api.py):
- POST /api/settings/profile/generate-summary → {summary}
- POST /api/settings/profile/generate-missions → {mission_preferences}
- POST /api/settings/profile/generate-voice → {voice}
- POST /api/settings/search/suggest → replaces stub; handles titles/locations/exclude_keywords

Vue (MyProfileView.vue):
- Generate ✦ button on candidate_voice textarea (was missing)

Vue (SearchPrefsView.vue + search store):
- Suggest button for Exclude Keywords section (matches titles/locations pattern)
- suggestExcludeKeywords() in search store
- acceptSuggestion() extended to 'exclude' type
