fix(desktop): declare no non-exempt encryption in Info.plist

[JakubAnderwald]

Why

macOS TestFlight build 56 for #623 was uploaded and VALID, but no tester could see it. App Store Connect had it at Missing Compliance (usesNonExemptEncryption: null), so neither internal group got it.

Until now, fastlane answered the export-compliance question only after upload_to_testflight's processing wait. Build 56's lane hung inside that wait (the #641 incident), so compliance was never set. #641 now skips that wait, which would have left every future macOS build uncompliant.

Change

• apps/desktop/macos/Drafto-macOS/Info.plist: ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false. Mobile already declares the same in apps/mobile/app.config.ts. The app only uses OS-provided HTTPS, which is exempt.
• A test asserts the key is present, so removing it fails CI.

Build 56 itself was fixed by hand: compliance set to false via the App Store Connect API, and it's now In Beta Testing in Family and External users.

Tests

scripts suite 1692/1692, plutil -lint OK, pnpm lint and pnpm typecheck green.

Takes effect on the next desktop build from the primary-checkout fossil after this merges (source only, no reinstall).

Parity: desktop-only (the mobile equivalent already exists).
