Register orcaflashforge:// as a system-level URL scheme alongside the existing orcaslicer:// scheme. This enables external applications (such as web apps) to launch Orca-Flashforge and trigger model imports using the orcaflashforge:// protocol. Changes: - macOS: Register orcaflashforge and orcaflashforgeopen schemes in plist files - Linux: Add x-scheme-handler/orcaflashforge to .desktop file - Windows: Register orcaflashforge:// in system registry on startup - Add is_orcaflashforge_open() detection function in Utils.hpp - Update is_supported_open_protocol() to include the new scheme Usage: orcaflashforge://open/?file=https://example.com/model.3mf

Background
We are Meshy LLC (https://meshy.ai), a company focused on AI-powered 3D generation. We are developing a feature in our web application that allows users to send generated 3D models directly to slicer software for printing.
While implementing support for Orca-Flashforge, we discovered that the current URL scheme registration uses
orcaslicer://, which conflicts with the original OrcaSlicer when both applications are installed on the same system. This makes it impossible for external applications to reliably invoke Orca-Flashforge specifically.We noticed that
orcaflashforge://is already used internally (inFFWebViewPanel.cppand supported byDownloader.cpp), but it is not registered at the OS level, preventing external applications from using it.Summary
This PR adds system-level registration for the
orcaflashforge://URL scheme, enabling external applications (web apps, third-party tools) to launch Orca-Flashforge and import models directly.Currently, while
orcaflashforge://is used internally inFFWebViewPanel.cppand supported byDownloader.cpp, it is not registered at the OS level. This means external applications cannot use this scheme to invoke Orca-Flashforge.Changes

After this change, external applications can invoke Orca-Flashforge using:
orcaflashforge://open/?file=https://example.com/model.3mf
Backwards Compatibility
orcaslicer://scheme remains fully functional
