fix(snap): type into native Wayland apps with ydotool (#823)
* fix(snap): inject into native Wayland apps via ydotool Edge rev 7 only ships wtype and xdotool. GNOME rejects the virtual keyboard protocol, so the snap falls back to xdotool and types only into XWayland windows. Native GTK/Qt apps get nothing. Stage ydotool, request the uinput plug, and prefer ydotool when wtype is rejected. Distro ydotool 0.1.x still needs a writable /dev/uinput; log `snap connect vocalinux:uinput` when the Snap cannot open it. * docs(snap): v0.16.2 edge has no uinput plug The store snap (0.16.2, latest/edge rev 7) does not declare uinput. `sudo snap connect vocalinux:uinput` fails with "has no plug named uinput" and dictation only reaches XWayland apps. Spell that out in README, INSTALL, UPDATE, the website changelog, and the store copy so people do not run the 0.17 connect command against rev 7. * docs(snap): drop the unconfirmed 0.17 version from uinput notes Greptile P2: the tree is still 0.16.2 and the release process does not name the next tag. Tell people to refresh until `snap info` lists the uinput plug, instead of waiting on a version we have not cut.
