Subject: [PATCH] fix: handle donate link error instead of crashing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

clicking the donate link on a headless server (or anything without
xdg-open/open) crashes lazydocker because the error from OpenLink
bubbles up unhandled. now it shows an error panel instead, same
pattern openFile already uses three lines below.

tested by swapping OpenLinkCommand to xdg-open on macOS — error
panel renders cleanly instead of crashing.

fixes #437
