multimedia/jellyfin-desktop: new port (replaces jellyfin-media-player) (#1909)

## Summary Add multimedia/jellyfin-desktop 2.0.0, the renamed successor of Jellyfin Media Player, now on Qt6. multimedia/jellyfin-media-player is Qt5 and depends on www/qt5-webengine, which is being removed; its removal (with a MOVED entry to this port) is in a separate PR. FreeBSD made the same rename on 2026-04-08. ## Changes - New `multimedia/jellyfin-desktop`, based on FreeBSD's port. It is version 2.0.0, the latest upstream release. - **mpvqt is bundled and statically linked.** FreeBSD depends on `multimedia/mpvqt`, which mports doesn't have. Upstream supports building its pinned submodule instead (KDE/mpvqt `2ebbd38`), so I fetch that via `GH_TUPLE` and set `USE_STATIC_MPVQT=ON`. That avoids a new dependency port; a separate `multimedia/mpvqt` port could be a follow-up. …
