[gui] Wayland app_id doesn't match desktop file ID, causing desktop environments to fail desktop entry lookup

Issue details

Describe issue and how to reproduce it

On Wayland, JADX's main window advertises the app_id:

jadx-gui-JadxGUI

However, the installed desktop entry is:

com.github.skylot.jadx.desktop

Desktop environments that associate Wayland windows using the app_id (such as COSMIC) cannot match the running window to the desktop entry because the identifiers differ. As a result, the application appears with a generic fallback icon instead of the JADX icon.
