feat: add recently viewed activity dashboard widget

[GermanJablo]

Summary

Stacked on top of #16812.

Adds an activity dashboard widget that lists the documents the current user has recently viewed in the admin, most recent first.

• New per-user recently-viewed preference storing only identity + timestamp (collectionSlug, id, viewedAt), recorded server-side in renderDocument when a collection document is opened (full-page and drawer). The write is wrapped in try/catch + logger so it can never break a document view.
• The widget computes display fields (title from useAsTitle, a collection type pill or an upload thumbnail, and an absolute localized timestamp) at render time, querying each collection under access control (overrideAccess: false). Deleted or now-forbidden documents drop out of the list automatically.
• Collection filtering uses an excludedCollections exclusion list (widget field): empty by default, so newly added collections show up automatically.
• i18n keys added to en.ts + clientKeys.ts and translated across all locales.

Test plan

• Unit test for the merge/dedup/cap helper (recentlyViewed.spec.ts).
• e2e: view two documents, return to the dashboard, assert they appear in the activity widget most-recent-first.
• Manual: open documents in different collections and confirm they appear, with type pills and thumbnails for uploads.

Deferred to follow-ups

• Per-row remove (X): needs a client component + preference mutation; this PR ships a read-only list.
• A "recently edited" tab.

Known limitations

• Because display fields are computed under access control, deleted or now-forbidden docs drop out of the list (desired). Stale identity entries remain in the preference until they age out of the cap.
