nvrl 5c1530b4b9 fix(core,gui): send the release version as the client identity
Every release sent the fixed `external-drive-linux@0.1.0-alpha`. If Proton
ever retires that version, every release fails sign-in at once and no update
can fix it.

- core: APP_VERSION and USER_AGENT follow CARGO_PKG_VERSION
  (`external-drive-linux@<version>-stable`, `proton-drive-linux/<version>`)
- core: `app_version` and `user_agent` in config.json are optional overrides;
  the fixed values older releases stored there read as unset and leave the
  file on the next save, a hand-set value is kept
- gui: the About dialog shows the release, its debug info the identity
  actually sent
- docs: describe the new default and the migration
