yusufipek b186f7fde2 Merge master: the modules moved into a package
Every file this branch touches moved into dikte/, so the merge is mostly the
rename following the edits. What needed a hand:

hotkey.py: master replaced the _macos()/_gnome() pair with one backend()
chooser, and this branch had added _windows() to the pair. Windows is a fifth
value of the chooser now, and everything that used to ask "macOS or Windows?"
asks backend() instead. The key is held by the running process there, so
installs_shortcuts() and shortcut_needs_restart() are both false for it, and
desktop_name() says Windows.

install.ps1 and the Windows README name dikte/__main__.py, the entry point the
Linux and macOS installers were pointed at in the same commit. The Start Menu
entry, the autostart entry and the dikte.cmd shim all come off one $entry
variable.

settings_ui.py: the shortcut tab now has a Windows sentence of its own, with
the Turkish for it. Falling through to the branch master wrote for a desktop
with no registry would have told a Windows user to check /dev/input. Nothing
covers that branch: there is no Windows Settings test class, the way there is
one for macOS.

CONTRIBUTING: the chooser it names is backend() now, and the test count is the
merged one, 1067 of 1110 running anywhere.

"""Clipboard and key injection, through whatever this machine gives us.
A Wayland session has wl-clipboard and ydotool, an X11 one has xclip and
xdotool, and macOS has pbcopy with the key press going straight to
CoreGraphics. Which of them is here gets decided in one place, and each is a
small group of functions below it: another desktop, or another operating
system, adds a group and a line to the chooser rather than a branch inside
every function here.
