feat(packaging): the trial's Linux column and the Linux packages (P11a steps 1 and 3)

The Linux half of the packaging trial, run on this machine and in Debian,
Fedora and Arch containers, and the recipes it produced (docs/packaging.md
holds the table and what it found):

- mise.toml pins cargo-packager 0.11.8 and cargo-generate-rpm 0.21.1, now
  that `just package-linux` calls them. cargo-packager-updater is a
  library, not a tool, so it is not pinned (update.rs does the checking
  with minisign-verify, which is what the updater uses).
- deploy/packaging/: packager.toml (.deb, AppImage, the pacman tarball and
  its PKGBUILD), the rpm table in crates/ledger-cli/Cargo.toml, the AUR's
  own PKGBUILD (repacks the release tarball), build-linux.sh,
  repo-indexes.sh (the apt and dnf indexes, unsigned until the signing
  step), local-release.sh (a throwaway-keyed feed to try `update`),
  test-linux-packages.sh (linux_packages_install_and_upgrade: install
  0.1.0, open books as an ordinary user, upgrade to 0.1.1, check the host
  restarted onto the new file, the books' last journal line unchanged and
  `update` refuses; passes on Debian trixie, Fedora and Arch). A package
  marks itself package-managed with share/wanderbooks/install-method.
- The icon is a placeholder square (the AppImage cannot be built without
  one).
- .github/workflows/release.yml: on a version tag, build on ubuntu-24.04
  (the oldest glibc the packages claim: a program linked on this machine
  needs GLIBC_2.43 and does not start on Debian 13), attach the packages to
  the release, and add them to the apt and dnf repositories on gh-pages.
  No signing and no macOS or Windows job yet.
- The release profile strips symbols.

Then talk to the agent; `wanderbooks gui acme` shows the books, and its
Books menu backs them up, restores, starts new books and closes them.
Updating: an AppImage, or a `wanderbooks` you put somewhere yourself, brings
itself to the newest release with `wanderbooks update` (it checks the
download against our release key, keeps the version it replaces, and the
open books restart onto the new one when idle); `wanderbooks rollback` goes
back, unless a book has since moved to a newer journal format. A `.deb`,
`.rpm` or AUR install is updated by its package manager and `update` says
so. The Linux packages are built here with `just package-linux`
(docs/packaging.md); none is published yet.
