Linux: AppImage update information and a .zsync beside it (#349) (#399)

* Linux: AppImage update information and a .zsync beside it (#349)

appimagetool now embeds
gh-releases-zsync|<owner>|<repo>|latest|photocraft-*-linux-<arch>.AppImage.zsync
(owner/repo from GITHUB_REPOSITORY, default storytold/photocraft), so
AppImageUpdate, AppImageLauncher and the like can find the next release and
fetch only the blocks that changed. With zsyncmake on the host it also writes
the .zsync, into its working directory, so the script runs it in $DIST and
warns when the file is missing.

The release job installs zsync and checks the embedded string and the .zsync
before uploading; docs/releasing.md lists the new asset.

Verified locally with packaging/linux/package.sh --skip-build --formats
appimage and zsyncmake from Ubuntu 22.04: --appimage-updateinformation prints
the string, and the .zsync's URL is the AppImage's basename.

* package.sh: absolute AppDir and appimagetool paths before running in $DIST

appimagetool now runs inside $DIST so zsyncmake writes the .zsync there,
which broke relative CARGO_TARGET_DIR / APPIMAGETOOL paths (AGENTS.md
suggests target/agent-<name>). Resolve both first, remove a stale .zsync
so a missing zsyncmake is reported, and list the .zsync and zsyncmake in
the header.

- **AppImage** runs on any distribution without installing anything. It's the
download-and-go option and the fallback for distros the packages don't cover. It's built
with the maintained `AppImage/appimagetool`, whose static runtime doesn't need libfuse2.
Each AppImage embeds update information (`gh-releases-zsync|…|latest|…`, #349) and ships
with a `.zsync` beside it, so AppImageUpdate, AppImageLauncher and similar tools can find
the next release and download only the blocks that changed.
- **.deb** covers Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS and elementary. **.rpm** covers Fedora, RHEL
and its clones, and openSUSE. Both integrate with the menu, MIME and icon caches (the
`postinst.sh` hook) and uninstall cleanly. Both are built by
