feat(desktop): portable mode looks next to DesignCraft.app on macOS (#574)

Inside a macOS bundle the executable sits in DesignCraft.app/Contents/MacOS,
a signed folder nobody edits, so the marker and DesignCraftData are looked
for next to the .app, as craft-settings does. Adds
inside_a_macos_bundle_the_marker_sits_next_to_the_app.

A file named `portable.txt` next to the executable (on macOS, next to `DesignCraft.app`) makes the install portable: settings, logs and
crash recovery are kept in a `DesignCraftData` folder beside it instead of the per-user folders
above. The Windows portable zip ships with one; delete it to go back to `%APPDATA%\DesignCraft`.
`DESIGNCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR` still takes precedence. The code is `apps/designcraft/src/profile.rs`.
