Stop push-to-talk even when other keys are pressed during the hold (#14645)

Hyprland skips a release bind once any other key or mouse button is
released while its key is held (KeybindManager::shadowKeybinds), and
when the modifiers changed since the press. That is what makes a bind
like "bindr = SUPER, SUPER_L" tap-only, but it means typing or clicking
while holding F9 or Right Alt never runs omarchy-dictation stop, so the
recording keeps going.

o.bind_hold binds a press and a release action together. The release
half is transparent (it can't be shadowed), ignores modifiers, and is
non-consuming, so it doesn't take the key from apps when pressed with
other modifiers (Shift+F9 still reaches the app). It runs only after its
own press ran, so releasing the key without the rest of a chord does
nothing. Dictation's push-to-talk keys use it.
