closes #186

Add Discord Rich Presence (RPC) Support

This adds basic support for Discord Rich Presence to psst.

If you enable it and provide a valid Discord Application ID, the app will connect to your running Discord client and show the currently playing track in your profile.

Changes

Added a new discord_rpc.rs module under psst-core to manage the Discord RPC connection in a background thread.
Added discord-presence as a new dependency.
Extended the user configuration with two new fields:
- discord_rpc_enable (bool)
- discord_rpc_app_id (string)
Updated the Preferences UI with:
- A checkbox to enable/disable Discord RPC.
- A text field for entering your Discord App ID.
- A button linking to Discord Developer Portal if you need to create one.
Hooked the RPC updates into the PlaybackController:
- Starts the RPC client when enabled (and app ID is valid).
- Updates it live if the App ID changes.
- Shuts it down cleanly when disabled or when quitting.

Behavior

Nothing happens unless the user explicitly enables the feature.
Invalid App IDs are rejected cleanly with warnings.
If playback changes (play, pause, seek, next track), the Discord status updates automatically.
Disconnects and clears the Discord status when pausing or stopping playback.

Notes

Only one new real dependency was added: discord-presence.
Defaults are safe: Discord RPC is disabled by default.

Screenshots

Why

Because Discord status is cool
and now people can see what garbage music you're listening to in real time.
