Bundle publisher was not provided in `Dioxus.toml`. Add it

Error message

Bundle publisher was not provided in `Dioxus.toml`. Add it as:

[bundle]
publisher = "MyCompany"

What it means

Validation guard in bundle_with_package_types: a required-field check found that the `[bundle]` section of Dioxus.toml omits the `publisher` key, which the package format being built needs (e.g. for macOS/Windows metadata). The input at fault is the project's bundle configuration, and the message embeds the exact TOML to add.
