* feat(input): opt-in WebKitGTK focus repaint workaround for Linux (#342, #782)

Some Linux users on WebKitGTK 2.50.x report a freeze when clicking
text fields: the field receives focus (right-click paste still works)
but the canvas never redraws until the window is resized. Likely a
layer-flush / composition scheduling bug in 2.50.x's Skia rendering
pipeline.

Off by default. When enabled in Settings -> System -> Behavior, every
input/textarea focus triggers a sync reflow read plus a one-frame
translateZ(0) toggle on the input's parent so WebKit re-evaluates the
layer tree. Side-effect: search-icon siblings flicker briefly on
focus -- accepted trade-off, only paid by users who opt in.

The toggle row is gated on IS_LINUX and sits next to the existing
Linux WebKitGTK options. The effect subscribes to the auth store and
re-attaches the focusin handler whenever the flag flips, so toggling
off cleanly removes the listener.

* i18n(settings): linux input repaint toggle in all locales

Adds linuxWebkitInputForceRepaint label + description across en, de,
fr, es, nl, nb, ro, zh, ru.

* docs(release): CHANGELOG and credits for linux input freeze workaround (PR #884)

### Settings — Linux text-input freeze workaround
**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#884](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/884)**
* **Settings → System → Behavior** (Linux only): optional toggle for users on WebKitGTK 2.50.x where text fields freeze when clicked (issues #342, #782) — turning it on forces the input to repaint on focus. Default off; enabling it adds a brief flicker on search icons.
