Description

This PR open sources the Harper desktop app as a part of the Harper monorepo.
Built with Tauri, the Harper Desktop app interfaces with the macOS accessibility API to read and update text within any system application that exposes a AXTextArea field. We will be working to expand that support to as many apps as possible.

To do this, the app renders a winit window over the entire screen and renders highlights over top of any errors in enabled applications.

If you choose to tinker with it, you'll notice there are a good many settings that do nothing. This is because the Harper Desktop app is still a work in progress. At the very least, we can make that progress happen in public now.

See the contained README.md for more information.
