Rename app to Nook (display name only)

Changes the user-visible name from "ABS Client" to "Nook" across the
iOS home screen, macOS Dock/menu bar, login header, sidebar header, and
README. Bundle ID (com.local.ABS-Client), keychain key, and background
download session ID are intentionally left unchanged so the existing
App Store listing (ID 6770326901) updates in place — installed users
keep the app, stored credentials, and downloads.

- Build settings: INFOPLIST_KEY_CFBundleDisplayName, CFBundleName,
  PRODUCT_NAME → "Nook" (Debug + Release); built app is now Nook.app
- Info-iOS.plist: CFBundleDisplayName + CFBundleName → "Nook"
- Localizable.strings (de + en): login.title + sidebar.app_title → "Nook"
- LoginView: hardcoded headers → "Nook"
- README: branding text → "Nook" (git repo URLs and App Store URL
  unchanged — repo and listing rename happen separately)
