fix: enrich route destination names from airport DB when not stored

Specific-airports mode scans never resolved full airport names — they
stored the IATA code as destination_name. Fixed in two places:

- airports.py: add lookup_airport(iata) cached helper
- api_server.py: enrich destination_name/city on the fly in the routes
  endpoint when the stored value equals the IATA code (fixes all past scans)
- scan_processor.py: resolve airport names at scan time in specific-airports
  mode using lookup_airport (fixes future scans at the DB level)
