Orion Torrent Client

Orion 4.2.1 — Portal-based notifications, free-tier limit bump, and tighter packaging permissions

• Notifications migrated to xdg-desktop-portal (org.freedesktop.portal.Notification) — works inside the Flatpak sandbox without extra talk-name permissions
• Free-tier Collection access raised from 5 to 10 torrents per day, with clearer "You have used X/Y" wording
• Donation URL consolidated; both in-app Donate buttons now open the same donation page
• Flatpak: dropped unused finish-args (FileManager1, UPower, SessionManager, mpv MPRIS) and narrowed --device=all to --device=dri
• Snap: dropped unused plugs (unity7, alsa, network-observe, network-status, mount-observe)
