alexion ab89ba8391 feat(desktop): resolve media output paths through XDG user-dirs
Add a modules.desktop.userdirs module that declares the XDG user directories,
and route the recorder and screenshot tools through xdg-user-dir so their
output folders (Videos/Recordings, Pictures/Screenshots) follow one relocatable
source instead of a hardcoded $HOME path.
