Add loading splash screen for app startup

**Splash Screen Features:**
- Shows "Local Transcription" branding during startup
- Displays progress messages as app initializes
- Prevents users from clicking multiple times while loading
- Clean dark theme matching app design

**Implementation:**
- Created splash screen with custom pixmap drawing
- Updates messages during initialization phases:
  - "Loading configuration..."
  - "Creating user interface..."
  - "Starting web server..."
  - "Loading Whisper model..."
- Automatically closes when main window is ready
- Always stays on top to remain visible

**Benefits:**
- Better user experience during model loading (2-5 seconds)
- Prevents multiple app instances from confusion
- Professional appearance
- Clear feedback that app is starting
