feat: add auto-launch functionality for desktop app

- Implemented IPC channels for managing auto-launch settings.
- Enhanced main process to handle auto-launch behavior on startup.
- Updated UI components to allow users to configure launch options.
- Integrated analytics tracking for auto-launch events.

This commit introduces the ability for users to enable or disable the application launching at system startup, along with options for starting minimized to the tray.
