Self-host optimized project images, fix St. Elmo and Grgich load times

- Download all 6 project images, resize to 800x400 at 80% quality
- Images reduced from 8-19MB to 54-95KB each (99% size reduction)
- Fix St. Elmo: original S3 URL was 403, sourced from Lookout Mountain Conservancy
- Fix Grgich Hills: was 19MB, now 88KB
- Serve from /projects/ route with 1-year cache headers
