feat: add UI font size adjustment with Ctrl+Mouse Wheel

- Add uiFontSize state management to ExtensionStateContext
- Implement Ctrl+Mouse Wheel event handler in App.tsx
- Add font size persistence to global settings
- Apply font size dynamically using CSS variables
- Support font size range from 50% to 200%

Fixes #7530
