Finishes Layer 1 of the .kc file format implementation per KC_SPECIFICATION.md.

Changes:

kc_format.py: auto-create silo/manifest.json with UUID, timestamps, and username when saving a .kc file that lacks one. Updates modified_at on each save.
kindred-create.desktop: register application/x-kindred-create MIME type
kindred-create.xml: add .kc glob patterns with dedicated MIME type

Combined with the existing Layer 1 work (PR #186), this completes all Layer 1 acceptance criteria:

.kc files open in Create without errors
Save As .fcstd strips silo/ (C++ ZIP rewrite)
Save As .kc ensures silo/manifest.json exists
Platform file associations for .kc
