Use lilxcham.com for the site links (0.3.2)

The GitHub Pages site now lives on the account's custom domain, so the
join links, the Discord "Get Encore" button and badge, the installer's
support link and the README point there directly instead of through
GitHub's redirect.

Encore 0.3.1: always-on Listen along button, remove Last.fm and Spotify

- Discord status: a "Listen along" button whenever the status is on (new
  option, on by default), next to "Get Encore", with an Encore badge.
- The always-on session publishes only while someone listens: guests send
  an encrypted check-in (sealed so it can never pass for playback) when
  joining and every 10 minutes; the host answers with its current state.
  This keeps it within ntfy.sh's 250 messages a day per IP. Sessions
  started from Settings publish every change as before.
- Guests ignore a cached state older than 2 minutes when joining.
- Quitting announces the end of a session only if someone was listening,
  with a 2-second limit, so being offline no longer holds up quitting.
- Removed Last.fm scrobbling and following, Spotify playlists, following
  Spotify friends through a Discord bot, and the code only they used
  (YouTube Music song search, DPAPI secrets). Their saved credentials are
  deleted from settings.json on startup.
- Dev builds no longer save window positions over the real profile's.
- Site and README updated.

v0.3.0

Rename to Encore for YouTube Music, open-source under GPL-3.0 (0.3.0)

- New name and icon, so the app is no longer presented as YouTube Music
  itself: window, tray, installer, exe and Start menu entries are
  "Encore". The installer replaces earlier "YouTube Music" installs
  (Go 0.2.x and Electron 0.1.x) only when their uninstall entry shows
  they are this app, and carries over "Start with Windows". Settings and
  sign-in in ~/.youtube-music, the ytm-desktop:// links and the repo
  name are unchanged, so existing installs update and join links work.
- License: GPL-3.0.
- Download page and code signing / privacy page on GitHub Pages, with
  screenshots; README rewritten for users.
- Discord status gets a "Get Encore" button (after "Listen along" while
  hosting).
- Last.fm: release builds can carry the app's own API account (from the
  LASTFM_API_KEY / LASTFM_SHARED_SECRET build secrets), so following
  someone needs no setup and scrobbling only needs Connect; a user's own
  key still takes precedence.

Add listen along, Spotify following and playlists, Last.fm (0.2.2)

- Listen along: host a room and share a code or link (or the button on
  your Discord status); guests follow song, position, pauses, seeks and
  skips over an AES-256-GCM encrypted ntfy.sh relay. Join page on
  GitHub Pages and a ytm-desktop:// link handler.
- Follow someone on Spotify through your own Discord bot (live presence)
  or through Last.fm now playing.
- Play a Spotify playlist as a YouTube Music queue, through the Web API
  or Spotify's public playlist page.
- Last.fm scrobbling with an offline queue.
- Mini player, taskbar thumbnail buttons, now playing in the tray,
  window position restore, scroll-to-change volume.
- Update downloads verified against the published SHA-512; secrets kept
  with DPAPI; app.log for troubleshooting.
- Settings are written to disk in the order they change, so two quick
  saves can no longer leave an older copy on disk.
