feat: date-range picker on the station history panel; drop PostgreSQL naming

/measurements/history/{code} accepts optional start/end date params that
override the hours window (end date inclusive). The dashboard history
card gains from/to date inputs beside the quick-range dropdown —
explicit dates win, changing the dropdown clears them. All user-facing
'PostgreSQL history' labels renamed to 'Station history'.
