Use 100vh and the viewport-fit toggle for the installed app

Researched it instead of guessing again. Launched from the homescreen, WebKit
resolves the DYNAMIC viewport and every env() inset once against a provisional
geometry and does not revisit them until the geometry is "exercised" — a
rotation. That is the whole bug, and it also explains why listening for a signal
could never fix it: nothing fires, so there is nothing to observe.

Two known workarounds, both applied. Standalone has no toolbars, so 100vh is
correct AND stable from the first frame — dvh only exists for the browser's
disappearing toolbars, so it now applies only there. And toggling viewport-fit
off and back on at boot forces WebKit to recalculate, without the user rotating
anything.

Countdown moved up off the ad boards — the strip's own projected line is its
ceiling now, so it stays in the stands whatever the phone does to the layout,
with a 1px shadow to carry it over the crowd.
