fix(hub,node): Create Group wizard silently skipped apps, and lost track of scanning progress

Two real-world bugs found together while testing multi-root group
creation:

- CreateGroupWizard only sent the enabled-apps PUT when the operator had
  *unchecked* something, assuming "every box left checked" already matched
  the node's own default (Roster.DEFAULT_APPS = chat, files). It doesn't —
  so leaving every app checked, the common case, silently left
  Videos/Music/Photos disabled on the node. Now sent unconditionally.

- The wizard's "add extra roots" step never polled index-status, so once
  step 3 (which only watches the first/upload root) finished, the
  progress bar froze while the node kept scanning the remaining roots for
  minutes, unwatched. Added waitForRootsIndexed (platform.js), mirroring
  waitForGroupHosted's own race handling.

That fix exposed a deeper one: indexer.py's _scan_root() only flipped
`progress.scanning` on *after* walking the directory and stat()-ing every
file — both off-loop, but slow enough on a large root that a poller's
grace period (waitForRootsIndexed's 5s) could expire before ever
observing `scanning: true` (confirmed against production logs: a GEK-init
step fired 5.058s after a root started scanning, matching the grace
period almost exactly). The stat() pass was also a synchronous loop
directly on the asyncio event loop — blocking the whole daemon (WebRTC,
chat, admin UI) for as long as it took on a root with many files. Both
fixed: `scanning` now flips on before the walk starts, and stat()-ing is
now off-loop too (_size_files).

+ * Create Group wizard only: after adding extra roots (step 5), wait for
+ * whatever scanning that triggers to actually finish, showing progress along
+ * the way. `POST /api/groups/{id}/roots` (ui/app.py) schedules its rescan as
+ * a detached background task and returns as soon as the config write is
+ * done — "every add-root call resolved" is not "the node is done indexing".
+ * Found live (2026-08-25): a multi-root group's later, larger roots kept
+ * scanning for minutes after the wizard had already moved on to GEK init and
+ * pairing, with no progress shown anywhere — the disk was working, the UI
+ * just never asked again.
+ *
+ * Same race as waitForGroupHosted above, one level down: the very first
+ * poll can land in the gap between "the last add-root call returned" and
+ * "its background reload actually started scanning", which reads as "not
+ * scanning" for the wrong reason (nothing left to do) rather than the right
+ * one (hasn't started yet). Waits up to `graceMs` for scanning to be
+ * observed at least once before trusting a "not scanning" answer — after
+ * that, the first "not scanning" really does mean finished, because the
+ * node scans one root at a time (indexer.py's single-worker executor) and
+ * nothing here adds more roots once this call starts.
