Adds 6 more SomaFM channels to the NewTab Quick Stations chip row.
Was reading sparse with only 8; the row had space for more. Selections
broaden genre coverage and add two on-brand picks:

  +  defcon       DEF CON Radio       (electronic / hacker culture)
  +  beatblender  Beat Blender        (electronic / breakbeat)
  +  bootliquor   Boot Liquor         (americana / outlaw country)
  +  u80s         Underground 80s     (80s indie / synthwave)
  +  bagel        BAGeL Radio         (indie / alt-rock)
  +  thistle      ThistleRadio        (celtic / folk — Dublin nod)

Total chip count: 8 → 14. No code change other than the QUICK_IDS
array. The render loop already drops any ID that's missing from
SomaFM's channels.json catalogue, so if a slug changes upstream
it just disappears silently.

DEF CON Radio = David's personal favourite (used as the test
station throughout v0.3.0 development). ThistleRadio = Irish-built
extension nodding to Celtic folk. Both feel right for the demographic
this product serves.
