feat(qr): improve camera error feedback and robustness in QR scanner

- Display prominent, actionable error banners in QR scanner dialog for camera access issues
- Add troubleshooting tips for common camera errors (no device, denied, in use, HTTPS)
- Enhance error handling and logging in WebDialogQRScanner for device detection and permissions
- Use proper type narrowing for promise handling in QRScannerDialog to resolve linter errors
- Improve user experience and clarity when camera access fails or is unavailable
