feat(settings): a quiet Buy me a coffee link

A donate link belongs in Settings and nowhere in the way — so it sits last,
understated, below the device list. A plain anchor with an inline SVG cup:
no third-party script, no webfont, no tracking, so it works offline and
cannot phone home. Wording says the app is MIT with nothing held back and
that nothing changes if you don't pay.
