fix(electron/macOS): proactively check screen recording permission on startup

Microphone permission is checked at startup via getMediaAccessStatus, and
camera has a dedicated request-camera-access IPC handler, but screen
recording relied entirely on desktopCapturer.getSources() to implicitly
trigger the TCC prompt — causing the permission dialog to reappear on
every launch (issue #558).

Note: askForMediaAccess() only accepts "microphone" | "camera"; screen
recording TCC is triggered via desktopCapturer.getSources() instead.

Fix:
- Import desktopCapturer in main.ts
- Call getMediaAccessStatus("screen") in app.whenReady(); trigger the
  TCC prompt via getSources when status is "not-determined"
- Add request-screen-access IPC handler symmetric to request-camera-access
