Replace hardcoded password words with Random Word API

Improve password generator by using dynamic word sources instead of
static hardcoded lists.

Changes:
- Created useRandomWords composable:
  - Primary: Random Word API (https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com)
  - Fallback: EFF Diceware word list (576 memorable words)
  - Automatic fallback if API fails or is unavailable

- Updated PasswordGenerator component:
  - Remove 80+ lines of hardcoded word lists (adjectives, nouns, verbs, objects)
  - Use async getRandomWords() for passphrase generation
  - Better word variety and unpredictability
  - Maintains same UX (no visible changes to users)

Benefits:
- More secure: Larger word pool (thousands vs 80 words)
- Always fresh: API provides truly random words
- Reliable: Built-in fallback ensures it always works
- Maintainable: No need to curate word lists
- Smaller bundle: Removed ~80 hardcoded words from component
