The JSON response to /api/active became malformed after #4465 because
raw hex strings need to be enclosed by quotes.
This commit changes the variant format in the /api/materials response
to be consistent with one used for /api/active. By using integers
instead of strings, we're avoiding the need to parse integers at run
time.
The JSON error did not appear in the Chrome console because it was being
silenced as a hack to appease "matinfo --web-server". I fix this by
removing the hack and simply emitting a valid response when there's
no live backend.
Also fixed the display of materials, which were always being marked
as active even when they had no active variants.
