debont80 4854fcc947 feat: self-managing yt-dlp + ffmpeg version display
yt-dlp is now a managed, auto-updating binary rather than a static bundled
one. On launch AeroFetch seeds a writable copy under userData from the
bundled seed, self-heals it if it goes missing, and — throttled to once a
day — self-updates it to the configured channel (default: nightly). This
keeps the binary current so YouTube changes don't silently cause 403s, and
an app reinstall (or portable re-extraction) can no longer roll it back.
Settings shows an auto-update toggle, the live version, last-checked time,
and the channel selector.

Also surface the bundled ffmpeg/ffprobe versions in Settings (display only:
they have no self-update path and, unlike yt-dlp, don't break as sites
change, so there is no auto-update for them).

- binaries: split the read-only bundled seed from the managed userData copy
- ytdlp: ensureManagedYtdlp (seed + self-heal), startup auto-update runner
- ytdlpPolicy: pure once-a-day throttle decision (unit-tested)
- ffmpeg: parse ffmpeg/ffprobe -version for the Settings panel
- settings/ipc/preload/renderer: new settings, IPC channels, types, and UI
