Add Linux .desktop file (#38038)

Browse source 
I'm trying to use Servo as a daily driver. I like to pin the most often
used apps to the my taskbar (Dash to Panel in Gnome). I also launch apps
from the menu (Arc Menu). Adding a .desktop file make it show up in the
menu. I could not get pinning to work until I set the name with `winit`.
This is because the name is used to match it with the icon. I used the
Gnome Looking Glass (lg) command to determine that the name was not set.

Testing: I followed the instructions that I put in the .desktop file. I
copied the .desktop file to the right folder, set up a link to the svg
icon, and adjusted the paths to point to the compiled executable.

# You can use this file to get a menu entry on Linux and so you can pin Servo to your taskbar.
#
# Steps:
# 1. Create the applications folder if it doesn't exist:
# mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
# 2. Copy this file:
# cp org.servo.Servo.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
# 3. Edit the copied file and replace the two SERVO_SRC_PATH occurrences
# with the path to the Servo sources.
# 4. Create the icons folder if it doesn't exist:
# mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
# 5. Create a link for the icon:
# ln -s servo.svg ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/servo.svg
