Add Decky STT Keyboard to Plugin Store

This plugin allows the user Speech-to-Text functionality within the STT Plugin tab in their QAM. Then the user can copy the text to their clipboard to use anywhere, they can make edits to the text preview by either virtual keyboard, starting a new recording where their text cursor was, or starting a new recording to replace a group of text the user has highlighted in the preview.

The only alternative is technically the KDE plugin to use your phone's built-in STT keyboard. This is a simple solution utilizing SteamDeck's built in microphone or a connected external microphone.

Please clean up your repo before we can review this. I see a lot of compiled binaries, library files, and __pycache__ folders that make it too difficult to review without cleaning first.
