James BruntonandGitHub f4725b98b0 Allow desktop app to connect to selfhosted servers (#4902)
# Description of Changes
Changes the desktop app to allow connections to self-hosted servers on
first startup. This was quite involved and hit loads of CORS issues all
through the stack, but I think it's working now. This also changes the
bundled backend to spawn on an OS-decided port rather than always
spawning on `8080`, which means that the user can have other things
running on port `8080` now and the app will still work fine. There were
quite a few places that needed to be updated to decouple the app from
explicitly using `8080` and I was originally going to split those
changes out into another PR (#4939), but I couldn't get it working
independently in the time I had, so the diff here is just going to be
complex and contian two distinct changes - sorry 🙁

James BruntonandGitHub a415c457e9 Add prompt to make Stirling your default PDF app (#4890)
# Description of Changes
- Adds a reusable banner component/system to the core app
- Adds banner at the top of the desktop app if Stirling isn't your
default PDF editor, with a button to make it your default
- Adds a permanent button in the settings to do it manually (in case
you've dismissed the banner)
- Simplifies the file loading logic to fix a bug where the input file
could be duplicated occasionally. Now, the TS just receives files from
one buffer, regardless of how they've been passed to the app in Rust.

## Caveats
I've only been able to get the setting of default apps working properly
on Mac. The Windows build isn't signed (yet) so we can't use the proper
API for it, so currently it just sends you to the Settings UI. I've also
not been able to test it on Linux at all.

James BruntonandGitHub eb5f36aa15 Fix issues with opening files in desktop app (#4876)
# Description of Changes
Locking to just having one instance of the app running unifies the
experience across all OSs. Opening new files in Stirling will cause the
files to be opened in the existing window rather than spawning a new
instance of the app with just that file in the new instance.

There's much more to explore here to allow multiple windows open at
once, but that can be done all from one instance of the app, and will
likely make it easier to allow movement of files etc. across different
windows.

Also fixes extra newlines in the logs and directly builds to `.app` on
Mac because it's frustrating during development to have to repeatedly
mount & unmount the `.dmg`.
