Add a What's New entry for keeping the install folder when upgrading from a
pre-0.6 Windows installer, and describe the new Windows MSI job in the
Packaging lint workflow header.

Fall back to the parent directory of the App Paths executable when an
older installer did not write InstallFolder. Keep explicit destinations
and the newer stored folder ahead of the legacy fallback.
Exercise the real MSI searches and actions with isolated per-user probes
on x64 and x86, including legacy paths with spaces and Unicode.

The interactive installer now walks Welcome -> Destination Folder ->
Ready -> progress -> Completed (from #79). Destination Folder is WiX's
InstallDirDlg: Program Files\LightCraft by default, Change... browses,
and WixUIValidatePath refuses a folder that can't be used.
The chosen folder is written to HKLM\Software\LightCraft\InstallFolder
and read back (into PREVIOUSINSTALLFOLDER, then INSTALLFOLDER after
AppSearch unless given on the command line), so a major upgrade stays in
the user's folder instead of moving back to Program Files. Silent and
passive installs show no dialogs and take INSTALLFOLDER=....
packaging-lint fails if lightcraft.wxs loses the folder page, the
remembered folder or the completion page's launch action.
Tested with wix 5.0.2 (x64, arm64, x86 build) and msiexec /qn: upgrade
from 0.4.0 stays in Program Files; a custom INSTALLFOLDER install, an
upgrade without it (stays), an upgrade with another INSTALLFOLDER (moves
there), and uninstall (files, folder and registry value removed).

* Release: FreeBSD x86_64, Flatpak x86_64/aarch64, AppImage zsync updates; README Downloads
- linux: appimagetool -u embeds gh-releases-zsync update information; the .AppImage.zsync is
published beside each AppImage (zsync installed; checked in the job).
- flatpak: new job per arch repackages the Linux tarball into a single-file .flatpak
(packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh + ai.storyteller.lightcraft.bundle.yml); the Flathub
manifest gets the CLI and the same commented finish-args; packaging-lint checks they agree.
- freebsd: new job builds lightcraft-<ver>-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz in a FreeBSD 14.3 VM with the
freebsd.yml packages (packaging/freebsd/package.sh; layout dry run in packaging-lint).
- version, linux and web no longer use the release environment (they sign nothing), so a
branch dispatch dry-runs every unsigned job; the release job still needs macOS and Windows.
- README: Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

* Linux packages: describe LightCraft, not PhotoCraft, in the deb/rpm description

The MSI Icon id had no .ico/.exe extension, which Windows Installer needs for
advertised shortcuts and ARPPRODUCTICON, so both showed a blank icon. Release
builds of the desktop app are now GUI-subsystem (no console window; the CLI stays
a console program), the shortcut/summary description names what LightCraft does, and
packaging-lint rejects an Icon id without an extension. Found in printcraft#57.
