feat: improve loading and error states on Batch and Analytics pages

Analytics page now shows skeleton loaders (cards and chart placeholders)
while data loads, and displays a retry button when the API call fails.
Batch page error state now shows the actual error message and suggests
user action.

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#16
