Add comprehensive poll support with full accessibility

Features:
- Poll creation in compose dialog with up to 4 options, single/multiple choice, expiration times
- Accessible poll discovery with keyboard navigation (Enter to vote on polls in timeline)
- Poll voting dialog with radio buttons/checkboxes and proper focus management
- Poll results display using navigable list widget for accessibility
- Real-time poll validation and error handling
- Updated README with complete poll documentation

Technical improvements:
- Added poll endpoints to ActivityPub client (create_poll, vote_in_poll)
- Extended Post model with poll data fields and accessibility methods
- Enhanced timeline view with Enter key handling for poll interaction
- Simplified radio button implementation following doom launcher patterns
- Fixed undefined variable bug in poll info generation
