Trim dependencies: drop glue, uuid, and brew - #167
Merged

Conversation
Remove three Imports that each had only one or two call sites, reducing the
package's transitive dependency footprint:
- glue: the single `glue::glue()` call in `format_ae_forestly()` is replaced
with an equivalent `sprintf()`.
- uuid: the crosstalk filter id in `ae_forestly()` now uses
`basename(tempfile(""))` instead of `uuid::UUIDgenerate()`.
- brew: add a small base-R `brew()` helper in `R/utils.R` that substitutes
`<%=var%>` placeholders with variables looked up in the caller's
environment, and use it to render `inst/js/sparkline.js`. The var-less
`filter-crosstalk.js` template no longer needs rendering at all, so its
html dependency is now sourced directly from the installed `js/` directory
instead of being copied to `tempdir()`.
No behavior change; interactive plots render identically.
