Closes "right-click on bare desktop" - previously a true no-op, nothing
rendered above the wallpaper at all. Requested directly: a real desktop
"just like windows does" - Home/Computer/Trash plus one icon per real
~/Desktop entry, individually draggable with persisted grid positions,
double-click to open, right-click menus (per-icon "Open" plus "Set as
Wallpaper" for image files when general.wallpaper_command is set; bare
desktop "New Folder"/"Refresh").

Architecture mirrors the existing context_menu.rs/snap_flyout.rs
"compositor-owned floating UI" pattern: desktop_icons.rs (data model, grid
layout, filesystem scan, hit-test), desktop_icons_state.rs (JSON
persistence, same shape as monitor_layout.rs), desktop_menu.rs (the new
right-click menu, reusing decoration::render_context_menu's existing
rasterizer), state/desktop_icons.rs (CompState glue: rescan/select/drag/
open/persist), and a new decoration::render_desktop_icon rasterizer --
hand-drawn glyphs, since no PNG/SVG decoding capability exists anywhere in
this workspace. Wired into both render loops (udev and winit) above the
wallpaper and below every window, and into input/pointer.rs's button/
motion handlers for selection, drag, double-click, and both menus.

Four new config keys: general.desktop_icons (default true - a directly
requested, purely visual feature, unlike the opt-in-while-experimental
general.gpu), general.file_manager, general.desktop_icon_single_click,
general.wallpaper_command (all default off/empty).

Deliberately out of scope for this pass, stated up front: move-to-trash
and "Empty Trash" (destructive, no confirmation-dialog primitive to gate
them on yet), filesystem watching, multi-select, per-mimetype icon art,
icons on any monitor but the primary one.

124 wayland-crate tests (up from 106), full workspace build and clippy
clean.
