feat: wire remote-desktop plugin into core and rename i18n keys

Repoints core consumers (dispatcher, collab, session-sharing, tab
utils) at the plugin, adds isTabTypeAvailable gating for rdp/vnc/
telnet, widens hostCapability to accept an array, and renames the
guacamole i18n namespace to remoteDesktop.
