Initial release of Predator Control 1.0.0

PredatorSense replacement for the Acer Predator Helios 16 (PH16-71) on Linux:

- predatord: root service for profiles, fans (incl. temperature curves),
  keyboard RGB, lightbar and battery health; restores settings at boot
  and after resume, switches profiles on AC/battery changes
- Qt desktop app with dashboard, fan curve editor and per-key RGB studio
- Plasma 6 panel widget with quick controls
- predatorctl command line tool
- predator_wmi kernel module (DKMS) as a minimal WMI method bridge
