Subject: [PATCH] Fix admin login and API 404s

- appsettings.json: bake in the reference HashedPassword/HashedPasswordSalt so
  admin/password actually validates (the previous empty strings could never match)
- Program.cs: pin the SQLite DB into App_Data so the mounted volume persists it,
  and route /elsa/api/{**rest} to a JSON 404 so unknown API paths stop returning
  the Studio SPA HTML with a 200
