chore: license the project under MIT

Browse Source 
Replace the placeholder "UNLICENSED" with the MIT License so the now-public
repo is genuinely free and open source. Adds a LICENSE file and documents the
app-vs-bundled-binary licensing split in the README (yt-dlp/FFmpeg/aria2 are
invoked as separate executables, so they remain under their own licenses).

## Licensing
## License
AeroFetch bundles third-party binaries under their own licenses: **yt-dlp** (Unlicense), **FFmpeg** (LGPL/GPL), and **aria2** (GPL). Those licenses apply to their respective executables in `resources/bin/`.
AeroFetch's own source code is released under the [**MIT License**](LICENSE) — free to use, modify, and redistribute.
It also bundles third-party binaries that remain under their own licenses: **yt-dlp** (Unlicense), **FFmpeg** (LGPL/GPL), and **aria2** (GPL). AeroFetch invokes these as separate executables rather than linking against them, so they are distributed as an aggregate; their licenses apply to the respective files in `resources/bin/`.
