Gabriel Brown 6997dd535f Add high contrast, and make remote desktop configurable
Two of the three panels still handed to GNOME, having actually checked
each rather than repeating that they were not worth owning.

Universal Access turned out to be mostly ours already: the magnifier,
pointer size, text scale, motion and dimming were all present. High
contrast was the real gap. It reaches GTK4 applications through the
desktop portal, which republishes GNOME's accessibility setting as
org.freedesktop.appearance contrast -- so no high-contrast theme is
involved, and none is installed here. Verified end to end: committing
the preference drove gsettings and the portal reported contrast 1.

Sticky, slow and bounce keys stay absent. There is no Wayland or
Hyprland implementation, and the compositor would store the XKB option
while nothing ever acted on it.

Remote desktop gained port, view-only, and clearing stored credentials.
SETTING credentials opens a terminal running grdctl, which prompts for
the password itself. That is not a hand-off for lack of effort: grdctl
takes the password on a terminal and core-dumps without one, and the
only alternative -- passing it as an argument -- would publish it
through /proc to every process on this machine. Typed into grdctl
directly it never passes through Panama, and a contract now fails if it
ever appears on a command line.

Color stays with GNOME, and not for lack of effort either. colord runs
here with seven profiles and zero devices registered, because the
daemons that register displays do not run under this session, and
Hyprland exposes no ICC, gamma, or color-management option at all. A
Color page could import a profile, attach it to nothing, and change
nothing -- the same failure refused for rollback and printer drivers.

// Sticky keys, slow keys, bounce keys and mouse keys are AccessX, which is

// "accessx:enable" as a keyboard option and store it, and nothing will ever
// act on it -- so there is no switch here, and pointing at GNOME's panel
// would be no better, since the daemon that applies those keys is not
// running either.
