LocalSend 1.18.0

This release is also the first release of the CLI. It uses the same Rust library as the Flutter app. The Rust rewrite of the core networking and file I/O logic is complete. You should notice that in improved transfer speeds. Please note that the Windows EXE installer is not published (#3270). It will be added in a few days (hopefully).
