Subject: fix: poll drag-and-drop in the main loop (drop events were never
 read)

Root cause: the file-drop check was a flecs system registered with
with: [] (zero terms). In this flecs build a zero-term system never
iterates its block, so Rl.file_dropped? was never polled and dropped
files were silently ignored -- the SDL backend was receiving the Xdnd
events fine all along.

Moved the IsFileDropped()/LoadDroppedFiles() check into the main loop
(before world.progress, so the LoadSystem picks up the file the same
frame), matching the original C study-player. Verified end-to-end with a
synthetic Xdnd drop: file detected -> loaded as a music stream.
