Why

The local-repo object browser renders every file name as inert text, so there is no way to grab a file from the UI even though local rpm repos already serve their contents as real yum repos. Users have to hand-construct URLs. This adds one-click downloads, built as a modular per-repo-type capability so other types can be switched on later with a single map entry.

Changes

Adds a downloadableTypes capability map (ui/src/components/downloads.ts) keyed by package_type; each entry builds the direct-download URL for a file.
Enables rpm, pointing at the yum files route /api/v2/remotes/<repo>/files/<path> (path-segment-encoded).
Renders file names in the object browser as <a href download> links when the repo's type is downloadable, and as plain text otherwise.
Fetches the repo's package_type on the Objects page as the modularity hook and threads it through the tree rows.

Notes

Download links are same-origin unauthenticated GETs (the API serves local repos with no token on reads, matching how yum clients fetch), so a bare href carries no credentials. Adding a future type is one entry in downloadableTypes.

Make filenames in the local repo object browser direct-download links
for repo types that expose a downloadable file route (rpm now).

- add downloadableTypes capability map keyed by package_type
- render file names as <a href download> when the type is downloadable
- fetch the repo package_type on the Objects page as the modularity hook
- enable rpm via the yum files route /api/v2/remotes/<repo>/files/<path>
