feat: add landing page copy and styles for English and Amharic versions

- Introduced `landing-copy.ts` containing text for the public landing page, supporting both English and Amharic languages.
- Added `landing.css` for styling the landing page, ensuring scoped styles to prevent conflicts with other app styles.
- Implemented smooth scrolling and animations for a better user experience.
