📄 Description

This PR includes a few things, all related to configuration, theming, and defaults:

The old example configs (which were a mess) have been replaced with two new configurations - minimal and desktop. These both include dedicated stylesheets, and a readme with screenshots and info.
Two new arguments have been added to the CLI - config and theme. These are backed by the existing IRONBAR_CONFIG and IRONBAR_CSS environment variables.
- Both of these can be set to minimal or desktop to use one of the built-in themes, or a custom config/css path.
- Setting the config variable will assume there is a style.css alongside the config file, unless theme is also provided.
The default fallback configuration has been removed. Instead, Ironbar will load the minimal configuration/theme when none is provided.
Many of the module screenshots have been updated to use the desktop theme for a fresh new (and considerably less ugly) look
The universal_config crate has been replaced with config, which now has Corn support!
- Config values can be overridden by environment variables. For example, set IRONBAR_ICON_THEME to control the top-level icon theme property.

This also raises the minimum GTK version to 4.12.

tl;dr: Ironbar now has sensible defaults, and very basic support for built-in themes
