Fixes #1203 Implement a private/read-only mode in Kiwix Desktop to protect user privacy by not writing anything to storage. * Add a new method `isPrivateMode()` in `src/settingsmanager.cpp` and `src/settingsmanager.h` to check for the presence of a `.private` file. * Modify `src/kiwixapp.cpp` and `src/kiwixapp.h` to include a check for private mode and prevent any write operations if the mode is active. * Update `src/mainwindow.cpp` and `src/mainwindow.h` to add a toggle option in the UI for activating/deactivating private mode. * Add documentation in `README.md` explaining the private/read-only mode and how to activate it via the UI or a `.private` file. --- For more details, open the [Copilot Workspace session](https://copilot-workspace.githubnext.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues/1203?shareId=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX).
