[Linux] Add AutoStart implementation and tests

[Copilot]

Implements Linux XDG autostart support via .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart/, completing the cross-platform AutoStart API for Linux.

Changes

• src/platform/linux/autostart_linux.cpp — Full XDG autostart implementation:

  • Enable() writes a .desktop file with [Desktop Entry], Type=Application, Exec=, Hidden=false, X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true, X-KDE-autostart-after=panel
  • Disable() removes the file (idempotent)
  • IsEnabled() checks file existence
  • Respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME; falls back to $HOME/.config; detects executable via /proc/self/exe
  • Arguments are shell-quoted per XDG spec

• tests/autostart_test.cpp — New tests using isolated mkdtemp-based config dirs with scoped XDG_CONFIG_HOME override, covering: constructors, getters/setters, enable/disable lifecycle, idempotent disable, .desktop content validation, and re-enable updates

• tests/CMakeLists.txt — Registers autostart_test for Linux builds

Usage

if (AutoStart::IsSupported()) {
  AutoStart autostart("com.example.myapp", "MyApp");
  autostart.SetProgram("/usr/local/bin/myapp", {"--minimized"});
  autostart.Enable();   // writes ~/.config/autostart/com.example.myapp.desktop
  autostart.IsEnabled(); // true
  autostart.Disable();  // removes the file
}

Pull request overview

Adds Linux-specific test coverage and build integration for the new cross-platform AutoStart API work by introducing a dedicated autostart_test binary on Linux and ignoring CodeQL-generated build artifacts.

Changes:

• Added tests/autostart_test.cpp covering the AutoStart API lifecycle and .desktop content expectations under an isolated $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
• Registered the new autostart_test executable with CTest for Linux builds.
• Updated .gitignore to exclude CodeQL build/output artifacts.

The .desktop content test exercises an argument containing spaces ("value with space"), but it doesn't assert that the generated Exec= line actually preserves it as a single argument (i.e., is quoted/escaped correctly). Adding a check that the Exec line contains the properly quoted/escaped argument would better validate the intended XDG quoting behavior.

Suggested change

	// Verify that the Exec line preserves the spaced argument as a single argument
	std::size_t execPos = content.find("Exec=");
	if (execPos != std::string::npos) {
	std::size_t endOfLine = content.find('\n', execPos);
	std::string execLine =
	content.substr(execPos, endOfLine == std::string::npos ? std::string::npos
	: endOfLine - execPos);
	if (execLine.find("\"value with space\"") == std::string::npos &&
	execLine.find("value\\ with\\ space") == std::string::npos) {
	std::cerr << "Exec line does not preserve spaced argument correctly: "
	<< execLine << std::endl;

<sys/stat.h> is included but not used anywhere in this test file. Removing unused headers keeps build times and dependencies minimal.

#include <sys/stat.h>
