fix: clean up nodeActivity in pruneStaleNodes to prevent memory leak (#553)

## Summary

`nodeActivity` (an object tracking per-node packet counts for heatmap
intensity) grows without bound — entries are added on every packet flash
but never removed, even when stale nodes are pruned.

## Changes

- **Delete `nodeActivity[key]`** alongside `nodeMarkers[key]` and
`nodeData[key]` when removing stale WS-only nodes in `pruneStaleNodes()`
- **Prune orphaned entries** — after the main prune loop, sweep
`nodeActivity` and delete any key that has no corresponding `nodeData`
entry (catches edge cases where nodes were removed by other code paths)
- Both run every 60s via the existing `pruneStaleNodes` interval timer

## Testing

- Added 2 regression tests in `test-frontend-helpers.js` verifying stale
node cleanup and orphan removal
- All 435 frontend helper tests pass, plus packet-filter (62) and aging
(29)

Fixes #390
