fix: dashboard flickering + clickable logo change for applicants

- Fix session auto-refresh causing re-render cascade by using useRef
  instead of useState and delaying the refresh by 3s
- Make project logo clickable on dashboard and team page for team leads
  with hover pencil overlay and ProjectLogoUpload dialog
