v3.5.0 - Major theme redesign plus drag and drop support

[Jacalz]

This new release is a major step forward for Rymdport. There is a big theme redesign using rounded corners, now possible thanks to improvements in the Fyne library that we are using, as well as a long list of improvements. One of our most requested features, drag and drop support, has finally been implemented allowing for files and folder to be sent more easily.

Changelog

• Major theme rework with rounded corners.
• Added support for dragging and dropping files and folders onto the application (Drag & Drop support #73).
• Users on Linux and BSD can now open files or folders in Rymdport from the file manager to start a transfer (Support opening file in Rymdport to start send #91).
• A transfer can now be started by passing files or folders as command-line arguments (Send files and folders via command line argument #75).
• Pressing enter after writing a custom code will now start the transfer (Press enter in the custom code entry #55).
• Instead of giving an error, a number is now added to the end of a file if a duplicate exists (Add a number to end of file name if duplicate exists #87).
• Fixed long codes flowing into the progress bar (Long codes cause list elements to shift #96).
• Fixed the QR code showing for failed and completed transfers (QR code behaves strange in some scenarios #90).
• Refocus the main window after sending text (Refocus main window after sending #85).
• Enabling the option to overwrite files now shows the submit button using a warning colour (Adopt new button error and warning importance #48).

• Directory transfers now check that the size and file number are as expected before extraction.
