Gate My List behind auth modal instead of in-page prompt

- Clicking My List when not logged in now opens the auth modal
  directly instead of navigating to a page with a sign-in button
- After successful login, auto-redirects to /library (My List)
- Works on both desktop header and mobile tab bar
- App.vue tracks a pending redirect path so the post-login
  navigation happens seamlessly
- Direct URL navigation to /library when not logged in also
  triggers the modal and redirects back to Films
