Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 78452bf995 Package the desktop app as the web build, and delete the Linux embedder
Completes the move off Flutter's Linux embedder, which manages ~20fps at 4K
against ~144fps for the same Dart code in Chrome (measured end-to-end: the real
app, fullscreen at 4K, sustains 144fps scrolling a 300-note list).

`linux/` is gone. Its icons and .desktop installer move to `desktop/`, since
those are still needed and are not Flutter platform scaffolding. install_arch.sh
now builds the web bundle plus an AOT wrapper; run.sh does the same for
development.

Four things this took to get right, each found by actually installing and
launching the package rather than assuming:

- `dart compile exe` refuses to build the package: transitive dependencies
  (sqlite3, objective_c) have native build hooks. `dart build cli` handles them,
  and emits bin/ + lib/, so the wrapper resolves its assets at ../web.
- `options=('!strip')` is load-bearing. makepkg stripped the AOT executable
  (7.0M -> 5.7M), discarding the embedded snapshot; the result still ran but was
  the bare Dart VM printing a usage message instead of the app.
- No hard browser dependency. Declaring `depends=('chromium')` made makepkg
  install it, and this machine has a policy that uninstalls chromium three
  seconds later, which then failed dependency resolution. The wrapper discovers
  whatever browser exists (Thorium included) and TODO_BROWSER overrides.
- The server no longer dies with the browser process. Chrome exits immediately
  when handing off to an instance that owns the profile -- or when a stale
  SingletonLock is left behind -- which killed the server out from under a live
  window.

Chrome gets --class=todo so WM_CLASS matches the .desktop StartupWMClass and
the taskbar shows the app icon rather than a browser icon.

Verified: `todo` launches, serves, opens a window titled todo, and recovers the
backlog through the wrapper.
