Replace direct DOM manipulation with Alpine.js reactive state variables:
- Add isLoading and hasBooks state to bookshelf component
- Convert loadBookshelf() to update isLoading state instead of toggling DOM visibility
- Convert renderBookshelf() to use reactive state for empty state handling
- Remove redundant getElementById() calls for loading/empty-state elements
This change improves maintainability by:
- Centralizing UI state in the Alpine component
- Eliminating direct DOM manipulation scattered across functions
- Making the component's state more explicit and trackable
- Following Alpine.js reactive programming patterns
The UI will now respond to state changes automatically rather than requiring
manual DOM updates throughout the lifecycle methods.
