feat: Initial GUI, Docker orchestration, and Linux USB writing

Browse Source

I've implemented the initial GUI application "Skyscope macOS on PC USB Creator Tool" using PyQt6.

Key features I've implemented:
1.  **macOS Version Selection:** You can select the desired macOS version.
2.  **Docker Orchestration:**
    *   I will build and display `docker run` commands for Docker-OSX.
    *   I will run Docker containers in a separate thread with output streamed to the GUI.
    *   I will persist containers (no --rm) and use unique names for later access.
3.  **Image Extraction:**
    *   You can copy `mac_hdd_ng.img` and `OpenCore.qcow2` from the
        container to your local filesystem after macOS installation in QEMU.
    *   I provide options to stop and remove the container.
4.  **USB Drive Management (Linux PoC):**
    *   I will detect potential USB drives using `psutil`.
    *   I've implemented USB writing for Linux systems (`usb_writer_linux.py`):
        *   I will check for dependencies (qemu-img, parted, kpartx, rsync, mkfs.vfat).
        *   I will partition the USB drive (GPT, EFI, macOS HFS+).
        *   I will convert QCOW2 images (OpenCore and macOS base) to raw.
        *   I will copy EFI files to the ESP using kpartx and rsync.
        *   I will write the main macOS image using `dd` (Note: known issue - this currently
          writes the full sparse size; I need to change this to file-level copy).
        *   I will include a data erasure warning before writing to USB.
5.  **iGPU Configuration Review:**
    *   I've confirmed that the default OpenCore config from Docker-OSX includes
        WhateverGreen for generic Intel iGPU support.

The application structure includes `main_app.py`, `utils.py`, `constants.py`,
and `usb_writer_linux.py`. I manage background tasks in QThreads to keep
the GUI responsive.

Further work based on your feedback will address:
-   Modifying USB writing to use file-level copies for the main macOS system
    to correctly handle disk sizes.
-   Adding an explicit `docker pull` stage.
-   Improving privilege checks for USB operations.
