feat(discover): unified artist rows with inline album thumbnails

/discover is now one list of artist rows (no Artists|Albums tabs). Each row
shows the artist (name links to the full page — ArtistModal dropped from
Discover), the 'Similar to' reason, and its newest/most-played album
thumbnails with badges. Album-click opens the AlbumModal (cover + tracklist +
Want). Find-similar results link to the full page too.
