feat: add Simplified Chinese locale, settings what's-new banner, and 1.3.0 changelog

- src/i18n: add zh-cn locale, explicit language override setting
  (LanguageSetting), and moment-locale -> zh-cn/zh-tw resolution.
- src/settings.ts: persistent banner at the top of the settings tab
  showing the current version's notable changelog highlights, so users
  who dismiss or miss the WhatsNewModal can still find them. Dismissal
  is tracked separately (bannerDismissedVersion) from the modal's
  once-per-upgrade lastSeenVersion gate.
- src/changelog.ts: curate the 1.3.0 release notes (multi-language UI,
  faster status refresh, symlink-pull fix, ignore-sync setting,
  connection status display, resizable conflict modal, folder picker,
  clearer connection errors, this what's-new tip).

Part of #39.
