claude-desktop-bin: bridge OVMF paths for Cowork
Cowork launches a QEMU VM and probes for OVMF UEFI firmware at the
Debian paths /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE{,_4M}.fd, which do not exist on
Slackware. Ship compatibility symlinks pointing at edk2-ovmf-x64, add
edk2-ovmf to REQUIRES, and document the Cowork deps and kvm group in
the README. Bump BUILD to 2.
