feat: RDP profiles, sessions and viewer

Browse Source 
- Protocol::Rdp with RdpConfig (domain, password mode, certificate
  policy, TLS-only fallback, fixed or tab-sized resolution, SOCKS5/HTTP
  proxy, SSH tunnel); migration 008 adds rdp_config and drops the
  protocol CHECK constraint so new protocols no longer need a rebuild.
- Session manager: connect_rdp dials directly, via the shared proxy
  module (proxy password from the secret store) or an SSH tunnel; the
  server certificate goes through the known-hosts check (key type
  rdp-tls); a tab-sized desktop uses the tab's reported pixel size, and
  resizes wait until the server opens Display Control. Rejected NLA
  passwords count as auth failures, so a saved one is asked again.
- The VNC viewer becomes DesktopView for both protocols; a small adapter
  turns its keysyms and pointer masks into RDP scancodes, Unicode keys,
  buttons and wheel events. For RDP, Paste Clipboard types the text.
- Profile editor RDP section, Quick Connect, badges, docs.

Verified against xrdp in the app: logon, desktop, input, and connections
through SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT relays. Not verified here: Windows/NLA
servers, the SSH tunnel route, and Display Control resizing (xrdp
0.9.24 never opened the channel).

It is a single Rust application drawn with egui: there is no webview, no bundled browser engine and no runtime to install. Terminal output goes straight from the network into the terminal emulator, so large outputs stay responsive.
