feat(apple): add direct-download macOS channel (notarized DMG + Sparkle + Homebrew)

Browse Source 
Add a second macOS shipping channel alongside the App Store build:

- New VniDropDirect target (Release-Direct config) sharing VniDrop's sources via
  an AppBase target template; links Sparkle behind the DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION flag so
  the App Store binary never bundles a self-updater. arm64-only (core is arm64).
- Sparkle updater (SparkleUpdater.swift) + "Check for Updates" menu, compiled only
  under DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION; Info.plist SUFeedURL points at the GitHub Release
  /latest/download/appcast.xml, non-sandboxed entitlements for Developer ID.
- build-dmg.sh (archive → Developer ID export → DMG → sign → notarize → staple),
  generate-appcast.sh, and ExportOptions-DeveloperID.plist.
- apple-release.yml: on tag v*.*.*, build/notarize the DMG, publish the GitHub
  Release with appcast, and push the Homebrew cask to sudosylabs/homebrew-vnidrop.
  apple.yml gains a PR compile-check of the direct target.
- CFBundleVersion is stamped at build time as a UTC YYMMDD.HHMM timestamp for both
  channels, replacing the hand-maintained build number.
- Docs (RELEASE-MACOS.md, README), cask template + tap README, localized
  updates_check string, Makefile targets, gitignore for dist/ artifacts.

### macOS shipping channels
The macOS app ships through two targets that build identical sources:
- **`VniDrop`** (`Release`) — Mac App Store / TestFlight. Sandboxed, no
self-updater.
- **`VniDropDirect`** (`Release-Direct`) — direct-download `.dmg` on GitHub
Releases + Homebrew cask. Adds the **Sparkle** auto-updater behind the
`DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION` compile flag, so the App Store binary never links Sparkle.
```bash
make build-apple-macos-direct # unsigned compile-check of the direct target
make build-apple-dmg VERSION=x.y.z # signed (+ notarized) .dmg
```
Full signing, notarization, appcast, and cask flow: see
[`RELEASE-MACOS.md`](RELEASE-MACOS.md).
Use `APPLE_PROFILE=release` to request a release Rust core, or set
`APPLE_DESTINATION` to override the automatically selected iOS simulator.
Code signing is disabled for the app and test targets; local and CI builds do
