Release: Flatpak bundles, AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads (#500)

* Release: Flatpak x86_64/aarch64 bundles, AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads

- New `flatpak` matrix job (ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm) repackages each Linux tarball
  into vectorcraft-<ver>-linux-<arch>.flatpak via packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh and the
  new ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.bundle.yml; packaging-lint keeps its runtime and finish-args
  identical to the from-source Flathub manifest.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
  Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, linux, flatpak, freebsd, web) leave the `release`
  environment, so a branch workflow_dispatch is a dry run; the draft-release job still needs
  the signed macOS/Windows jobs.
- README: a Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

* Release: read AppImage update info without extract-and-run

With APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 the runtime forwards --appimage-updateinformation to the app,
which then tries to open a window and fails on the headless runner.
