JGF 2a952f164c Windows/Linux: open files in the running PhotoCraft instead of a second instance (#3708) (#3755) ...

Fixes #3708; part of #1540 (Flatpak needs its own follow-up: each sandbox has its own loopback).

A second launch hands its files to the running instance over an authenticated loopback channel (random port, 32-byte token in a private instance.json, constant-time check, bounded clients, requests and paths). Files are acknowledged only once the UI has taken them; the instance shuts the hand-off down before a CPU-compatibility relaunch; it runs only in the per-user settings mode. --new-instance and PHOTOCRAFT_NEW_INSTANCE=1 opt out.

Thanks to @MrCloudy2 (#2358), whose Linux version first handled the relaunch and per-user endpoints, and @Desayuno64 (#5273), whose shutdown flag and read deadline informed the final design.
