feat: alerts (M8), notifications config page, and app icon (0.4.0)

- feat(alerts): desktop notifications (notify-send) for overheat (GPU/CPU past a
  configurable threshold), GPU-lost, and a new-version-available alert (once per
  version). Edge-triggered with cooldown so it doesn't spam (core/alerts.py)
- feat(gui): Notifications page to configure alerts (enable, GPU/CPU thresholds,
  Send test); changes apply live and persist via config.save_config/update_config
- feat(gui): ship a RigDoctor icon; the GUI self-registers the icon + .desktop on
  launch and sets the Wayland app-id, so the dock shows it after an update + relaunch
  (no installer re-run); installer/uninstaller updated to manage the icon
- config: alerts_enabled, gpu_temp_alert, cpu_temp_alert; flat-TOML writer
- tests for the alert monitor and config round-trip
