Fix: Login/Register unreachable from the main menu -- no button opened it

Reported directly by the user playtesting the exported exe: Play was
permanently disabled and there was no way to log in or register. Root
cause: main_menu.tscn wired Play and Quit, but nothing was ever
connected to _on_login_button_pressed()/_on_register_button_pressed() --
the AuthPanel, its form, and all its backend-calling logic were fully
correct, just completely unreachable. The script's own top comment even
said "(the existing Play/Quit buttons)" as if Play/Quit somehow doubled
as login triggers, which they never did -- a sign nobody ever actually
clicked through the running scene, only checked things at the API level.

Fix: added a real AuthButtonsRow (LoginButton, RegisterButton) wired to
the existing handlers, which now hide themselves once auth succeeds.
Also fixed grab_focus() targeting the AuthPanel (which can't accept
focus, just a background warning) to focus the username field instead.

Verified via two new smoke tests (smoke_test_main_menu_ui.gd,
smoke_test_main_menu_full_flow.gd) using a *real signal emission* on
the buttons, not a direct method call -- that distinction is exactly
what would have caught the original bug. Full click-through confirmed
against a real backend: open register form, fill it, submit, Play
actually becomes enabled, welcome message shows, auth buttons hide.

Also documents a real headless-testing gotcha found while verifying
this: a synthetic Button.pressed.emit() on an await-using handler
doesn't reliably get driven forward in --script/SceneTree mode the way
real GUI input dispatch does -- confirmed by comparing direct-call vs
emit() behavior side by side. Not a bug in the actual click-driven flow,
a test-harness quirk to route around (call the handler directly,
awaited, instead of emitting the signal).

Full checkpoint suite re-verified clean on this branch: migrations,
68/68 pytest, all 6 Godot smoke tests (including the 2 new ones, picked
up automatically by run_checkpoint_tests.py's glob).
