fix(distance): compute it where QSOs are made, not in a settings button

The button was the wrong shape twice over. A maintenance chore does not belong
beside the options an operator actually chooses, and nobody should have to be
told their log is missing a field before it gets filled in.

So the distance is computed where QSOs come from: on the logging path and on the
ADIF import. fillDistance is its own function rather than part of
applyStationDefaults, because the import only applies those when the operator
ticks a box — and a distance is not a station default. It is derived from the
QSO's own two grids and is true whatever was chosen about profile fields.

What is already in the log is handled by a one-time migration at startup,
recorded by a settings key. In the background: on a large log over a remote
MySQL that is thousands of row updates and startup must not wait for a tidy-up.
Marked done only on SUCCESS, so a run cut short by a closed program tries again
next time rather than leaving half the log filled for ever.

An imported value still wins. It came from the log that made the contact, which
knew the real positions rather than two four-character squares.
