fix(upload): downscale photos client-side to cut the upload-stage drop-off

The Uppy Compressor plugin was already active but with default options, i.e.
quality-only compression with NO dimension limit — so 12MP phone photos were
uploaded at full resolution and stayed multi-MB. The new upload telemetry
(commit 938186f4, Loki) showed the loss is size-driven, not a broken upload
path: once an upload starts it succeeds ~100%, but ~13% of *selected* photos
are abandoned during the client-side compress-then-start step, and ~40% of
upload sessions run the modal open >30s on mobile.

Pass maxWidth/maxHeight (1600) + quality 0.8 to Compressor in both uploaders
(OurUploader, PhotoUploader). compressorjs downscales to fit, preserving aspect
ratio — listing photos stay crisp (viewed far smaller than 1600px) while upload
size drops ~5-10x, shrinking both the >30s slow tail and the select->start
abandonment window.
