Modernizes the legacy `build.snap` block to `build.snapcraft` targeting core24 with the GNOME extension (mirrors snapcrafters/signal-desktop). The legacy block replaced electron-builder's default plug set, leaving the snap under strict confinement without `home`, `x11`, `wayland`, or `network-bind` — the local Express server on :3001 and KDS on :3002 couldn't bind, and the renderer couldn't open a window. The new config extends defaults via "default" and adds `network-bind` + `screen-inhibit-control` explicitly. `release.yml` builds AppImage + deb + rpm + snap in one electron-builder call, self-registers the snap name on first run (`snapcraft register`, idempotent), and uploads with `--release=stable`. One-time setup is just the `SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS` repo secret — a snapcraft macaroon from `snapcraft export-login`. Snap name is `flocafe` (from `package.json > name`); the runtime Electron `app.name` and on-disk user-data path stay `flo-desktop` to preserve existing dev installs.

What's in this PR
Linux distribution publishing for Flo. One workflow, three architectures, two store-fronts ready to ship.
v*tag publishesflocafetolatest/stable. I migrated the legacybuild.snapblock tobuild.snapcrafton core24 + GNOME extension. Mirrors thesnapcrafters/signal-desktoprecipe.x64andarm64now. Release job is a matrix onubuntu-22.04+ubuntu-22.04-arm64; each entry builds and uploads its host-arch artifacts, and both publish their snap to Snap Store as a multi-arch revision. AppImageHub auto-discovers both.flocafe-<version>-<arch>.AppImage), and the AppStream metainfo is wired in at/usr/share/metainfo/.scripts/update-metainfo.jsruns at release time and prepends a<release>block frompackage.json > version+ CHANGELOG. Idempotent. The source file is rewritten but not auto-committed.Bug fix I caught
