audit: sweep GUI Development, split Desktop into Qt and Tkinter, drop enaml, buridan/ui, curses

Browse Source 
Restructure: the 12-entry Desktop use case splits — Qt (PySide6
3.9M/mo, PyQt6 2.7M/mo, co-obvious pair differing in licensing) and
Tkinter (customtkinter 1.13M/mo, tkinter stdlib obvious choices;
tkdesigner challenger, kept by maintainer decision) mint as
subcategories; residual Desktop lands at cap with pygobject (607.6K/mo),
wxPython (354.8K/mo), kivy (288.8K/mo) obvious choices and dearpygui
(193.5K/mo), toga (12.9K/mo, BeeWare trajectory) challengers.

Renames to canonical PyPI names: PyQt → PyQt6, pyside → PySide6 (the
PyPI package named pyside is the dead Qt4-era PySide 1).

Re-homes: urwid (11.3M/mo) moves to CLI Development > TUI Frameworks as
a challenger and pyglet (2.9M/mo, windowing and multimedia for games)
moves to Game Development, dissolving this section's Terminal
subcategory. Web-based keeps pywebview (2.19M/mo), nicegui (1.2M/mo),
flet (444.1K/mo) as obvious choices; gooey stays sole Wrappers entry.

Removed:
- enaml — 14.1K downloads/month, 1.6K stars after 13 years; a
  declarative Qt DSL nobody names unprompted. Judgment call.
- buridan/ui — 248 stars, no PyPI package; a component-snippet
  collection for Reflex, not a GUI framework. Fails admission.
- curses — standard-library rule: stdlib holds a slot only where it is
  itself the obvious choice, and for building TUIs that is textual.
