refactor(js): simplify filter state to a plain string

Replace the { type, value } filter object with a plain string value.
Merge data-cats and data-groups row attributes into a single data-tags
attribute. Drop data-type from tag buttons. Consolidate category/group
URL params into a single filter param, keeping backward-compat fallback.
