Snap package: strict core24 snap on every release, optional Snap Store upload (#413)

* Snap package: build, test and attach a strict snap to every release packaging/linux/snap/snapcraft.yaml (core24, strict, gnome extension) repackages the release's Linux tarball like the Flatpak does. The release workflow builds it for amd64 and arm64, installs it with --dangerous, models a box in the confined app on headless X11 and Wayland, and attaches solidcraft-<version>-linux-<arch>.snap plus the version-less copy. When SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS is set, nightlies go to edge and release drafts to candidate, and snap-store.yml promotes candidate to stable when a release is published. The README gets a Snap badge and install line.
