Add application menu for keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, etc.) (#2335)

## Summary - Adds an application menu with Edit, View, and Window submenus to enable standard keyboard shortcuts - Fixes #1952: Users can now use Cmd/Ctrl+C, Cmd/Ctrl+V, Cmd/Ctrl+Z, Cmd/Ctrl+X, Cmd/Ctrl+A instead of right-clicking - The Edit menu provides: Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All ## Test plan 1. Start the app 2. Click in the chat input field and type some text 3. Test Ctrl/Cmd+A (Select All) - should select all text 4. Test Ctrl/Cmd+C (Copy) - should copy selected text 5. Test Ctrl/Cmd+V (Paste) - should paste clipboard content 6. Test Ctrl/Cmd+Z (Undo) - should undo last action 7. Test Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y (Redo) - should redo undone action 8. Test Ctrl/Cmd+X (Cut) - should cut selected text 9. Verify right-click context menu still works as before 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)  --- <a href="https://app.devin.ai/review/dyad-sh/dyad/pull/2335"> <picture> <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://static.devin.ai/assets/gh-open-in-devin-review-dark.svg?v=1"> <img src="https://static.devin.ai/assets/gh-open-in-devin-review-light.svg?v=1" alt="Open with Devin"> </picture> </a>   --- > [!NOTE] > Introduces a global application menu to enable OS-standard keyboard shortcuts and window/view controls. > > - Adds `createApplicationMenu` in `src/main.ts` with `Edit`, `View`, and `Window` menus (plus macOS `App` menu) providing `undo/redo`, `cut/copy/paste/delete/selectAll`, zoom controls, reload, devtools, and fullscreen > - Calls `createApplicationMenu()` during startup after `createWindow()` to activate shortcuts across the app > - Leaves existing right-click context menu behavior intact > > <sup>Written by [Cursor Bugbot](https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=bugbot) for commit fbd07b8dc49d8ee97f98526ac1d654701734c038.
