Shipping a small-but-satisfying fix in Clave 🔑 and an proposed update to NIP-46

The problem: when you connect an app to a Nostr remote signer over a bunker://
link (NIP-46), the signer had no way to know *which* app was connecting — so theconnection showed up nameless/generic. You'd approve signing for "some app" with no idea who.

The fix: the client can now include its name, URL, and icon right in the connect
request — the same info nostrconnect:// already carries, brought to the bunker
flow too. Clave reads it and labels the connection properly.

It's live end-to-end: Clave (signer) reads it, and our experimental client jank.army (client) sends it. Pair them and the app's real name shows up.

We've proposed it as an extension to NIP-46 so any signer or client can adopt it. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2381

Backward compatible — apps that don't send it connect exactly like before.
