feat(settings): OpenDyslexic font option for dyslexic readers (#507)

* feat(settings): OpenDyslexic font option for dyslexic readers

Next step on the accessibility track. The first pass was on the colour
side — WCAG contrast audits across every theme and dedicated colour-
vision-deficiency variants for the protanopia / deuteranopia / tritan-
opia palettes. Typography is the other axis: some users with dyslexia
find a font with a heavier weighted baseline and asymmetric glyph
shapes (b/d, p/q never mirror, italic forms differentiated rather
than slanted-regular) easier to track than a typical sans.

Adds OpenDyslexic to the existing Fontsource font picker. SIL OFL
licensed, freely redistributable, and the de-facto open-source
standard for this use case. Non-variable axis, ships as four discrete
weight/style files (regular, bold, italic, bold-italic) — the Settings
picker grew an optional `hint` field on font entries so this one row
can carry a "dyslexia-friendly · no RU/ZH support" subtitle without
bloating the other 14 entries.

Latin + Latin-extended only. Cyrillic and CJK locales (RU, ZH) fall
back to the system font when this is selected; the subtitle calls out
that limitation upfront. i18n: hint string in all 8 locales
(settings.fontHintOpenDyslexic).

Accessibility is intentional product positioning here — it's an
underserved corner of the Subsonic-client ecosystem.

### Settings — OpenDyslexic font option for dyslexic readers
**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#507](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/507)**
* Next step on the accessibility track after the colour-side work (WCAG contrast audits across every theme, dedicated colour-vision-deficiency theme variants for protanopia / deuteranopia / tritanopia): a dyslexia-friendly **OpenDyslexic** font option in the existing font picker.
* OpenDyslexic uses a heavier weighted baseline and asymmetric glyph shapes — `b`/`d`, `p`/`q` never mirror, italics are differentiated forms rather than slanted regulars — which many dyslexic readers find easier to track than a typical sans.
* Bundled locally via `@fontsource/opendyslexic` (SIL OFL, freely redistributable). No CDN dependency. The Settings picker grew an optional **subtitle** field on font entries so the OpenDyslexic row carries a "dyslexia-friendly · no RU/ZH support" hint without cluttering the other 14 fonts.
* **Latin + Latin-extended only.** Cyrillic and CJK locales (RU, ZH) fall back to the system font when OpenDyslexic is selected; the subtitle calls that out upfront. Subtitle text is translated in all 8 locales.
