feat: add public profiles list endpoint with search and pagination

- Add new /profiles/ endpoint for listing user profiles
- Support search by username/display name with ordering options
- Include pagination with configurable page size (max 100)
- Add comprehensive OpenAPI schema documentation
- Refactor passkey authentication state management in MFA flow
- Update URL routing and imports for new list_profiles view

This enables user discovery, leaderboards, and friend-finding features
with a publicly accessible, well-documented API endpoint.
