Subject: [PATCH] fix(views): assign default position when creating new project
 views

When creating a new view without specifying a position, it defaulted to
0, causing it to always sort before all other views. Apply
calculateDefaultPosition to assign a unique position based on the view
ID, consistent with how projects, tasks, and buckets handle this.

Fixes go-vikunja/vikunja#2319
