Please:
- add a changelog entry
- link the PR to the issue
- share a screenshot so that participants can comment on the result without needing to re-create a ZIM on their own (most don't want to loose time on this, and I'm not sure issue author is even able to do that)

What did:
Added a persistent map length scale to the UI so users can always estimate real world distance at the current zoom level. fixes #46
What changed:
Added MapLibre’s built-in ScaleControl to the map.
Placed the scale at the bottom-right so it stays visible at all times.
Kept the implementation minimal and focused (single JS change).
