debont80 d4b9a0eefa Add bundled yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe to the repo

Stop ignoring resources/bin/*.exe and commit the binaries so clones are
self-contained (no manual binary drop needed).

Bundled binaries

AeroFetch spawns these from the main process and bundles them via electron-builder extraResources (they ship outside the asar archive). They are not committed to git (see .gitignore).

Drop the two Windows executables here before running npm run dev or building:

resources/bin/
├── yt-dlp.exe
└── ffmpeg.exe

yt-dlp.exe

Download: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest
Grab yt-dlp.exe.
Unlicense / public domain.

ffmpeg.exe

Use an LGPL build to keep licensing simple, e.g. https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases (pick a *-lgpl-shared or *-lgpl win64 build) or https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/.
Copy ffmpeg.exe here. Ship the LGPL license text alongside the installer before release.

Branding stays generic: AeroFetch is a "yt-dlp frontend." Keep upstream license texts with any distributed build.
