Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Use async ZIP APIs and improve loading screen UX for
 import/export

- Replace synchronous ZipArchive constructor with ZipArchive.CreateAsync() in BackupFile.cs
- Use entry.OpenAsync() instead of entry.Open() for non-blocking ZIP operations
- Add "Please do not close the app" warning to the loading screen
- Add Task.Yield() after StateHasChanged() to ensure spinner renders before heavy work
- Update loading container CSS for proper vertical layout with warning text
