✨(frontend) add configurable external redirect for unauthenticated users

Offer a way to redirect unauthenticated users to an external home page when they
visit the app, allowing a more marketing-focused entry point with a clearer
value proposition.

In many self-hosted deployments, the default unauthenticated home page is not
accessible or already redirects elsewhere. To ensure resilience, the client
briefly checks that the target page is reachable and falls back to the default
page if not.
