Double-click / "Open With" never puts the file on argv — Finder always
delivers it as a kAEOpenDocuments Apple Event instead, which nothing in
this app listened for, so it just showed "cannot open files in this
format" even though the file association itself was registered
correctly.
The standard fix, implementing application:openURLs: on this app's own
NSApplicationDelegate, isn't available here: winit already installs
its own delegate to own window/lifecycle events, NSApplication has
exactly one delegate slot, and winit's class doesn't implement the
open-document method.
This bypasses the delegate protocol and registers directly with the
lower-level Apple Event Manager (AEInstallEventHandler) instead — the
same mechanism AppKit's delegate forwarding is itself built on, and
independent of who owns the delegate. Registration happens on the
iced Subscription's first poll rather than in main() before app::run()
— registering earlier gets silently overwritten by winit's own
NSApplication startup, confirmed by testing against a real `open -a`
rather than assumed from Apple's docs.
This handles a file opened while the app is already running. A cold
launch (app not running yet) needs a different mechanism, in the
following commit.
