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).

Create a **VNC** profile for remote desktop sessions. Use the SSH tunnel option when possible, especially outside trusted networks. Direct VNC is available for isolated or trusted networks, but classic VNC traffic is not encrypted, so Nexus Terminal asks before connecting without a tunnel.
## RDP remote desktops
Create an **RDP** profile with the host, your username and, if needed, a domain. Windows servers use Network Level Authentication by default; for xrdp and other servers without it, tick **Allow servers without NLA**. The first connection shows the server certificate's fingerprint to trust. Use the **Proxy** or **SSH Tunnel** sections to reach desktops behind a jump host or proxy.
## File transfers on SSH
Click the **folder** icon on an SSH tab to open the SFTP browser. You can browse, upload, download, rename and delete files, create folders and bookmark locations.
