Dylan M. Taylor 60833ae800 packaging: Flatpak finds and prints to CUPS printers (#4634)
* packaging: Flatpak finds and prints to CUPS printers

The Print dialog listed no printers in the Flatpak: the runtime has libcups but not
lpstat/lp, the sandbox couldn't reach the CUPS socket, and driverless network printers
(lpstat -e) need Avahi. Bundle lpstat/lp/lpoptions from CUPS 2.4.20 (Apache-2.0,
statically linked, licence installed) and grant --socket=cups and
--system-talk-name=org.freedesktop.Avahi in both manifests.

* packaging: Flatpak reads the user's CUPS settings (~/.cups, read-only)

Review (CodeRabbit): without it the sandbox's lp/lpstat ignore the user's default
printer and saved options (lpoptions) and a print server named in their client.conf.

* packaging: Flatpak CUPS tools reach the host socket when client.conf names a custom path

Review: Flatpak mounts the host's CUPS socket at /var/run/cups/cups.sock whatever
path ~/.cups/client.conf or CUPS_SERVER names, so lp/lpstat/lpoptions now run through
a wrapper that points a socket path missing in the sandbox there. Server names
(remote servers) and sockets that exist are left alone. Tested in the sandbox:
CUPS_SERVER=/run/custom/cups.sock lists the host's printers through the wrapper and
none without it; a host name is passed through unchanged.

* packaging: redirect a custom CUPS socket only when it is the one Flatpak mounted

Review (CodeRabbit): Flatpak picks the socket it mounts at /var/run/cups/cups.sock
with stricter rules than CUPS (flatpak-run-cups.c: a socket CUPS_SERVER, else the
first line spelled exactly "ServerName /path" in ~/.cups/client.conf, else the
default), while CUPS reads the keyword in any case and takes the last ServerName. The
wrapper now redirects only when CUPS' socket is the one Flatpak chose, so a job can't
reach a different server; otherwise CUPS fails on the missing path.

* packaging: never redirect a CUPS_SERVER the sandbox was given

Review (CodeRabbit): Flatpak picks the socket it mounts from the host's CUPS_SERVER,
so one set by flatpak run --env or an override may not be what it mounted. The
wrapper now leaves any CUPS_SERVER alone and redirects only a client.conf socket that
matches Flatpak's choice; otherwise CUPS fails on the missing path instead of
reaching a different server.

* packaging: point CUPS at the mounted socket only when it is the one Flatpak chose, else fail

Review (CodeRabbit): with a custom socket listed first and the default last in
~/.cups/client.conf, Flatpak mounts the custom one at /var/run/cups/cups.sock while
CUPS picks the last line, finds that path, and talks to the custom server. The
wrapper now compares CUPS' socket with Flatpak's choice even when the path exists:
equal, CUPS is pointed at the mount; different, the tool fails with an error instead
of reaching another server.

# Flatpak manifest for the single-file bundle attached to every GitHub release
# (vectorcraft-<version>-linux-<arch>.flatpak). Build it with packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh.
#
# It repackages the release's own Linux tarball (vectorcraft-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz,
# built on Ubuntu 22.04 by package.sh) instead of compiling Rust inside flatpak-builder: no
# network and no vendored crate sources during the build, a few seconds instead of 20+ minutes,
# and byte-for-byte the same binaries as the AppImage/deb/rpm. The script unpacks the tarball
# into `stage/` next to a copy of this file. The binaries need glibc >= 2.35 and load X11,
# Wayland, xkbcommon and Vulkan at runtime; the freedesktop runtime has all of them, and the
# GPU driver comes from its org.freedesktop.Platform.GL extension.
#
# ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.yml (same directory) is the from-source manifest for Flathub. Keep
# runtime, runtime-version, sdk and finish-args identical in both (packaging-lint checks this).
