Add DeckTorrent to Plugin Store

DeckTorrent adds a Quick Access Menu panel to monitor and control torrent downloads in Game Mode.

It communicates with a local transmission-daemon via JSON-RPC at localhost:9091. Shows download and upload rates, estimated completion time, progress percentage, active peers, and supports pausing, resuming, and removing torrents without switching to Desktop mode. Completed downloads trigger SteamOS notifications.

The plugin frontend is built with React (@decky/ui) and the backend is Python (standard library asyncio/urllib), requiring no custom C binaries or root privileges.

Daemon setup scripts and systemd integration are documented in the main repository: https://github.com/locoholy/DeckTorrent
