Reclassifies tablets with a mouse/trackpad to use the desktop UI. This is detected by checking for `(hover: hover)` media query capabilities. This ensures that touch-only tablets retain their original, touch-friendly mobile UI while fixing the bug for users with pointer devices.

Closes #1474
This PR fixes the issue where iPads were being served a mobile UI. The root cause is that all devices with the device-tablet class received the mobile layout, which is unsuitable for tablets used with a mouse/trackpad.
The solution is to differentiate tablets based on their input method using the (hover: hover) media query.
->Tablets that support hover (i.e., have a mouse) will now receive the device-desktop UI.
->Touch-only tablets will continue to receive the existing device-tablet (mobile) UI.
This ensures all users get the appropriate experience. The fix has been verified using browser developer tools to confirm the correct UI is served for iPads, iPhones, and desktops without regressions.
