fix: improve desktop file path resolution in content command

Enhanced the content command to properly resolve desktop file paths
by checking both default and overlay shared directories. Previously,
desktop files were always treated as regular files without considering
the actual exported locations.

Key changes:
1. Added resolveDesktopFileExportPath method to OSTreeRepo that checks
both default and overlay directories
2. Modified content command to use this method for desktop files while
keeping regular files unchanged
3. Improved content filtering logic to only show existing exported files
4. Added comprehensive unit tests covering both default and overlay
directory scenarios

The fix ensures that desktop files are correctly resolved to their
actual exported locations, preventing issues where desktop files might
not be found if they exist in overlay directories but not in default
directories.

Influence:
1. Test content command with applications that have desktop files in
default shared directory
2. Test content command with applications that have desktop files only
in overlay directory
3. Verify both cases work correctly and show proper paths
4. Test with applications that have no desktop files to ensure regular
file handling remains unchanged
5. Verify the output only includes existing files after path resolution
