Rsclub2_2 fe4215bce9 Remove JavaFX
The second half of Etappe 6 (61 commits). grep -rl "javafx\." over both main
source trees is empty, nothing imports javafx, neither classpath resolves it,
and org.openjfx is out of the build and the version catalog.

The finding that shaped the work: the JavaFX main window was built on every
start and never shown -- primaryStage's setScene and show were both commented
out. Most of those 11,655 lines were dead weight rather than a port. But not
all of them, and that is the trap this commit is really about: dead-looking
methods still fed live Compose sinks. They were cut at their seams instead of
deleted, and a sweep script that follows calls was written to find them,
because reading the code does not reveal them.

In order: the colour derivation frozen as checked-in test data, so the pin
survives JavaFX being removed instead of silently comparing against itself;
the live feeds lifted out of the never-shown window and given names and tests;
the dead scaffolding deleted in slices; then the lifecycle. UiDispatcher now
delivers to the AWT event dispatch thread, the ten Alerts are modal Compose
dialogs, HostServices gives way to java.awt.Desktop with the mailto/http split
JavaFX did not need, and extends Application, start(Stage), stop and launch are
gone -- main builds the runtime and a shutdown hook replaces stop().

An independent review found two deadlocks in that move, both the same failure
class, both invisible to the build: a blocking wait on the event thread for
work that can only advance on the event thread. The profile picker waited on a
latch and froze the client for good; ComposeWindowHost.close waited on
Thread.join and returned with the window still marked open, which made a
profile switch raise the dead runtime's window and leave the rebuilt profile
without its Connect button. A third came out of fixing them: a ComposeDialog
built off the event thread cannot create its GL context and never paints.

Three defects only a GUI run showed, never the build: an NPE on a deleted
field, a Compose menu still hanging on deleted MenuItems, and a category
bookkeeping field that looked dead but is read by the outgoing-message category
resolution -- deleting it would have sent messages in the wrong category.

The binding docs and the manual no longer describe a JavaFX client.
