Replace QWebEngineView-based start page with a rich native Qt panel that
fetches items directly from the Silo REST API. QWebEngineView is not
available on conda-forge for Qt6.

Start panel features:

Database Items list with search (from SiloClient.list_items)
Recent Files list from FreeCAD preferences
Real-time Activity Feed via SSE (SiloEventListener)
Context menu: Open in Create, Open in Browser, Copy Part Number
Open in Browser button (QDesktopServices)
Catppuccin Mocha dark theme styling

URL scheme support:

handle_kindred_url() function for kindred://item/{part_number} URLs
Startup hook in InitGui.py for cold-start URL arguments

Closes #167
