chore(owlry-rune): bump version to 0.4.10

- Replace complex auto-detection with explicit use_uwsm config option
- Remove detect_launch_wrapper() function and hyprctl/uwsm auto-detection
- Use gio launch as default (always available via GTK4's glib2 dependency)
- When use_uwsm=true, launch via uwsm app -- for systemd session integration
- Add error handling for when uwsm is enabled but not installed
- Update documentation in README.md, CLAUDE.md, and config.example.toml
