GyuriX e8d935298f Linux: the display theme asks the desktop, not winit
winit reports no system theme on Linux — `ActiveEventLoop::system_theme()` is
`None` there on every desktop — so `System` in the appearance setting never saw
the desktop's choice and fell back to light. A new `desktop_theme` module asks
the XDG Desktop Portal's Settings interface for
`org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme` on a thread of its own, so no
D-Bus call is ever made from the frame loop, and the app follows the answer,
including a change made while it runs.

egui resolves `ThemePreference::System` from what winit reports and offers no
way to set that itself, so where a desktop answered, the app hands egui the
concrete theme instead. What is drawn is unchanged on macOS and Windows, where
winit answers and the same resolution happens a step earlier; the saved
preference is still `system`, so a file keeps meaning the same thing.

The colour scheme is asked for under its GNOME schema name first, which GNOME's
portal and XFCE's both answer, then under the older freedesktop one, which KDE
answers. A desktop that answers neither leaves the user's own choice alone.
