feat(desktop): add screen recording (task 0029)

Add a wf-recorder module, enabled by the desktop aggregator. Super+Shift+R
picks a region with slurp and toggles a video-only capture (no audio), stopped
with SIGINT so the file finalises, saved to ~/Videos/Recordings. Start and
saved notifications fire via notify-send.

A Waybar custom/recording widget samples the wf-recorder process once a second
and shows a video glyph while a capture runs.
