Surface reading-plan pull failures too, fix StrictMode false sync

The sign-in pull (GET /api/reading-plans -> merge) had the same silent-
failure gap the push side had before the last fix: a failed fetch just
left local state as-is with zero indication anything was wrong. Moved it
into the hook as pullServerReadingProgress(), which reports failures
through the same error banner/retry the push path already uses.

Also found and fixed a real bug while testing this: the "skip syncing on
the very first render" guard used a boolean ref, which React 18 StrictMode
defeats by double-invoking effects in dev — the second invocation saw the
flag already flipped and fired a spurious sync of stale localStorage data
before the app had even confirmed sign-in, occasionally producing a false
"couldn't sync" banner on fresh loads. Replaced it with a reference-equality
check against the state object captured at mount, which both of
StrictMode's synthetic invocations see identically. Caught this in
useReadingPlans.js's own test run, not manual testing.
