Ship KDE Connect inside Frame Control instead of downloading it on the Frame

The keyboard and trackpad no longer fetch KDE Connect from Valve's package
repository on the Frame. The desktop apps and the iPhone app's Frame bundle
carry Valve's arm64 build of kdeconnect 24.02.2-1 and the five libraries it
links (kcontacts, kpeople, modemmanager-qt, pulseaudio-qt, libfakekey),
pinned by SHA-256 in frame/kdeconnect/packages.json and downloaded at build
time from the kdeconnect-frame-24.02.2-1 release, which also holds Valve's
complete source package for each.

On first use the computer copies them over its SSH connection (the iPhone
bundle already has them on the Frame); the agent checks each SHA-256,
unpacks them and stamps which build it is, so later starts copy nothing.
No internet on the Frame, 3.6 MB instead of 8 MB, 18 MB unpacked instead of
82 MB (ModemManager and friends were packaging-only dependencies).

GPL/LGPL compliance: frame/kdeconnect/NOTICE.md names each exact version,
licence and source; per-project licence texts in frame/kdeconnect/LICENSES;
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md; an About and licences dialog in the app.
