feat: improve background startup and launcher control

Detach --background launches from terminals with quieter runtime output, make wrapper/plugin overlay start explicit, and allow trailing commas in JSONC configs for safer hot-reload edits. Includes pending Anki/docs/backlog updates in this unreleased batch.

| **subminer script** | All-in-one solution. Handles video selection, launches MPV with the correct socket, and manages app commands. Overlay start is explicit (`--start`, `-S`, or `y-s`). |
| **MPV plugin** | When you launch MPV yourself or from other tools. Provides in-MPV chord keybindings (e.g. `y-y` for menu) to control visible and invisible overlay layers. Requires `--input-ipc-server=/tmp/subminer-socket`. |
You can use both together—install the plugin for on-demand control, but use `subminer` when you want the streamlined workflow.
`subminer` is implemented as a Bun script and runs directly via shebang (no `bun run` needed), for example: `subminer video.mkv`.

- `--log-level` controls logger verbosity.
- `--dev` and `--debug` are app/dev-mode switches; they are not log-level aliases.
- `--background` defaults to quieter logging (`warn`) unless `--log-level` is set.
- Linux desktop launcher starts SubMiner with `--background` by default.
- `--background` launched from a terminal detaches and returns the prompt; stop it with tray Quit or `SubMiner.AppImage --stop`.
- Linux desktop launcher starts SubMiner with `--background` by default (via electron-builder `linux.executableArgs`).
- Use both when needed, for example `SubMiner.AppImage --start --dev --log-level debug`.
