Integrate OpenFlights API for free, no-auth flight data generation

- Added openFlightsService.js to fetch and cache OpenFlights airport/airline/routes data
- Validates airport codes exist in OpenFlights database (6072+ airports)
- Generates realistic flights using major international airlines
- Creates varied routing options: direct, 1-stop, 2-stop flights
- Updated flightService.js to use OpenFlights as primary source before Amadeus
- OpenFlights as fallback if Amadeus unavailable or returns no results
- No API keys or authentication required
- Cached locally to avoid repeated network requests
- Realistic pricing, times, and stop locations

Docker container rebuilt with OpenFlights integration.
