license: adopt MIT for the application + add THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES

Set license = "MIT" (Cargo.toml), add the MIT LICENSE file, and switch the
PKGBUILD to license=('MIT'). Generate a THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES file enumerating
the full dependency-graph manifest plus the canonical text of every referenced
license, with notices for the statically-bundled Opus codec and the embedded
fonts (Iced-Icons, Cantarell/OFL-1.1). Ship both files in the .deb and Arch
packages. Update README License section and stale private-build metadata.

Codex (gpt-5.5) audited the tree and confirmed no copyleft blocks MIT; the
remaining items were asset provenance + binary-distribution notice hygiene,
which THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES addresses.
