Add desktop services: open URI, notify, appearance, bell, and paths
wsap_term keeps per-platform code for opening links, notifications, the bell, high-contrast detection, the executable and bundle paths, and the default locale. These now live behind <yasl/desktop.h>. On Linux, src/platform/freedesktop serves both backends. Opening a URI runs xdg-open from PATH through a double fork, so the opener gets default signal dispositions, an empty mask, a new session, and none of the application's descriptors. Notifications and the Settings portal use the session bus through libdbus-1, an optional dependency behind -Ddbus. Appearance falls back to GTK_THEME without a portal. The bell uses xdg-system-bell on Wayland and the XKB bell on X11. Cocoa implements the same calls with NSWorkspace, UserNotifications, the effective appearance, NSBeep, the bundle, and CFLocale. That code is not built or run here; it needs a macOS check. The desktop test runs under dbus-run-session against a fake notification server and portal, and uses a fake xdg-open to check argument passing, signal state, and descriptor inheritance.

OS support shared by multiple backends lives separately in `src/platform/posix/`
and is selected by `src/platform/meson.build`. It currently supplies the event
loop and the private mutex implementation used through `platform/sync.h`.
+Linux desktop services shared by Wayland and X11, such as xdg-open and the
+D-Bus session bus, live in `src/platform/freedesktop/`; Cocoa keeps its own in
+`src/platform/cocoa/desktop.m`. Both implement `src/common/desktop.h`.
Common code should depend on these internal interfaces rather than native OS
headers. Keep public headers in `include/yasl/` and tests in `tests/<backend>/`.
