Support more increments of the Quran (like juz, hizb, ruku') #72

This is definitely a useful and needed feature

The question is how to implement it in the UI… the Ayah app on iPad is gorgeous and we can take some ideas from there, but at the end of the day that is a gesture + touch based UI, while Qawl is for mouse + keyboard.

There's not really existing work on Quran browsing interfaces to learn from in this area (I think), so it's time to innovate and maybe set the standard for what desktop Quran navigation interfaces can be, insha Allah!

I think since it is a desktop app, having the surah or juz in tabs on a sidebar may help improve the UI.

Refer to this app on windows, I find it very functional and quite complete: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/%d9%85%d8%ad%d9%81%d8%b8-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%88%d8%ad%d9%8a%d9%8a%d9%86/9wzdncrdk9pg?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

I was trying to work on a native swiftui app for macOS, but i'm by no means an expert in this
