Disable named view transition on admin page-content wrapper

The <ViewTransition name="page-content"> wrapper around the admin
main content was triggering a 'shared element' morph on every page
load and navigation: the browser tries to animate the bounding box
of the named element across the old and new pages, and since each
admin page has a different height, the browser was scaling the
snapshot from the top-left corner. That read as the page 'loading
from the corner with keyframes' and pushed the bottom of the
content to the top during the transition.

Setting update="none" opts out of the named transition entirely.
The children just swap on navigation — no fade, no scale, no morph.
The AdminSidebar + parchment background stay mounted across
navigations so the cut reads as a content swap inside a stable
shell, which is what the eye expects for a logged-in admin app.

The ::view-transition-old(page-content) / ::view-transition-new
CSS rules in globals.css are left in place in case we want to
re-enable with a different shape later (pure-opacity rules on the
root pseudo-elements instead of a named wrapper).
