refactor: remove embedded wallpaper from binary (v0.5.2)

Wallpaper is installed by moonarch to /usr/share/moonarch/wallpaper.jpg.
Embedding a 374K JPEG in the binary was redundant. Without a wallpaper
file, GTK background color (Catppuccin Mocha base) shows through and
wallpaper-only windows on secondary monitors are skipped.
