Remove deprecated launchd/com.sparkfabrik.sparkdock.plist file

[Copilot]

This PR removes the deprecated launchd/com.sparkfabrik.sparkdock.plist file and its containing directory, which are no longer needed since the introduction of the new menubar app.

Background

The legacy LaunchAgent plist file was used to schedule periodic update checks for Sparkdock through the old update mechanism. This has been superseded by the new Swift-based menubar application that provides real-time update notifications and better user experience.

Changes

• Removed launchd/com.sparkfabrik.sparkdock.plist - legacy LaunchAgent configuration
• Removed empty launchd/ directory

Verification

The removal is safe because:

1. Already being cleaned up: The Ansible provisioning script in ansible/macos/macos/base.yml explicitly removes this file from user systems when installing the new menubar app (line 423)
2. No code dependencies: Comprehensive search revealed no references to this file in the codebase
3. Replaced functionality: The new menubar app uses com.sparkfabrik.sparkdock.menubar.plist with improved functionality

The old plist scheduled weekly update checks, while the new menubar app provides event-driven updates triggered by system wake and network changes, offering better responsiveness and battery efficiency.

Fixes #130.
