Add DeckDrop to Plugin Store

Since I develop for SteamDeck, I need fast iteration times when providing other devs with screenshots and recordings.

As the build-in tools for uploading and saving recorded media do not work for me / throw errors, and the Steam OS Devkit Client only can do screenshots and only sometimes, I decided to make a script which uses (pre-installed) ffmpeg to encode a recording and move it somewhere in my network with scp. Since finding and selecting the right folder with a new recording is tedious and slow, I decided to make this a decky plugin.

With this plugin you can copy screenshots or transcode and move recordings (and even cuts of those) via rclone to a remote provider of your choice (Samba, Nextcloud/webDAV, OneDrive/Google/Dropbox).
You have a few options for the transcode (codec/quality/audio yes/no) and the target filename is templated as <optional_suffix>_.mp4/jpg. If you feel like it, you can just select the media and click on 'GO' to copy it over.
There is a progress bar for transcode.
There are thumbnails for media selection.
Simple error reporting in the app.
The only part that requires Desktop mode is the inital creation of commercial remotes for rclone - as stated in the README. Nextcloud and Samba can be setup in gamemode.
The rclone binary is included in the release.
