Remove PySide dependency and deprecate desktop builds #475

Given changes in #473 , we no longer need the older pyinstaller desktop applications. As such, we'll update to a model where we use a separate client/server architecture. Once the server is up and running, you can simply use the web UI, or download the desktop app for a built-in client.

Additionally, this should massively mitigate issues like https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/436, https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/391, https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/378 as pyside is no longer an installation requirement.
