refactor(domain): unify ETR calculation — both UIs now use calc_etr_str

Before:
  - PyQt: inline ETR using chars-based formula
  - WebUI: Job.estimated_time_remaining using progress-based formula
  (different formulas → different ETR estimates)

After:
  - Both UIs call domain.progress.calc_etr_str(elapsed, done, total)
  - Same formula, same ETR, single source of truth
  - WebUI now stores etr_str on Job and displays it directly
  - Job.estimated_time_remaining property kept for backward compat

domain/progress.py: ProgressTracker class + calc_etr_str function
1053 tests pass.
