findings: adopt the registry in the app module; rename ipv6.* to v6.*

The registry was only used in core-engine. The app still emitted seven codes as
raw strings, so the registry test passed while codes lived outside it - among
them ipv6.broken, which fired on a real network and was in no registry at all.

All seven now take their code, category and severity from a registry entry, so
those three cannot disagree at a call site. Grepping for code = "..." across the
app, engine and probe modules now returns nothing.

ipv6.* -> v6.* is the third instance of the same rule being broken: they
declared Category.IPV6 while the prefix map only knows "v6", so
TestType.category("ipv6.broken") fell through to connectivity and the finding
rolled up under the wrong verdict light. The test-type registry already used v6.

Two severities reconciled rather than assumed:

  connectivity.captive_portal is medium, not high. The registry had guessed
  high; the probe emitting it had always said medium, and the probe was the
  considered value - a captive portal on hotel wifi is what should be there.
  no_internet keeps high, since nothing local fixes that.

  v6.not_offered stays info, and the registry now says why it must. Most
  networks still do not offer IPv6; a warning there lights a yellow verdict on a
  healthy network and teaches people to ignore the light.

Plus a BackHandler: the screen was a plain state variable with nothing tying it
to the back stack, so Back left the app from Settings/History instead of
returning to the run screen.
