debont80 09fde16004 chore: bump version to 0.7.3
Refs the MIT licensing change (also aligns the lockfile's cached license
field with package.json, which was still UNLICENSED).

debont80 e8f0b83a7e chore: license the project under MIT
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).
