fix desktop entry categories The category "Other" isn't a valid category [1] and causes unwanted behavior on some DE's [2]. Thus I remove this category and add the main category "Network" instead. I also add the additional categories "RemoteAccess", since rustdesk is a tool to remotely access computers, and "GTK", because it's based on GTK libraries.

fix desktop entry key/values Similar to #1255 and related to #1299, running `desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/rustdesk.desktop` on Ubuntu 22.04 returns the following: ``` /usr/share/applications/rustdesk.desktop: error: value "1.2.0" for key "Version" in group "Desktop Entry" is not a known version /usr/share/applications/rustdesk.desktop: error: required key "Exec" in group "Desktop Action new-window" is not present ``` * "Version" refers to the Freedesktop Specification[1], not the program's one. Given that this was correctly defined in rustdesk-link.desktop, the same value should be used here too. * The new-window section is missing the `Exec` key. Ubuntu 22.04 refuses to launch from the Activities overview (apps menu) without this key.
