chore: Drop Electron support#166

Conversation
Electron's extension loader doesn't support content_scripts with world: "MAIN" (MV3), so the MobX hook is never injected into the page context. This has been broken since the MV3 migration. A proper Electron integration would require a standalone package that embeds a WebSocket-based backend directly into the app, bypassing browser extension APIs entirely. This can be implemented in the future if Electron users request the feature. Remove the Electron app shell (packages/mobx-devtools/app/, bin.js), playground Electron setup, and Electron-specific workarounds in background.js.
