build(desktop): Linux portable zip - #62

Conversation
Mirror the Windows portable layout: when a portable.dat marker sits next to the binary, pin the data and runtime dirs beside it instead of the XDG/home dirs, so the app runs from a USB stick with nothing in the user profile. Both the unprivileged and the re-exec'd root process resolve the marker via current_exe(), so no env hand-off is needed across the pkexec seam.
Assemble kasumi-proxy-<ver>-linux-portable.zip (binary + cores + portable.dat) alongside the deb/AppImage. Rename the Windows portable zip to -windows-portable.zip so the two are symmetric (no public release has shipped the old name yet).
Note the Linux portable build and align the Windows portable filename.

Summary
Ship a portable Linux build, mirroring the Windows portable zip:
desktop/linux/paths.rsnow honours aportable.datmarker next to thebinary — when present, all state (data + runtime dirs) lives beside the binary
instead of the XDG/home dirs, so the app runs from a USB stick with nothing in
the user profile. Both the unprivileged and the re-exec'd root process resolve
the marker via
current_exe(), so no env hand-off is needed across thepkexecseam (the Linux elevation model is a single-process re-exec, same as Windows UAC).
release.ymlassembleskasumi-proxy-<ver>-linux-portable.zip(binary +cores +
portable.dat) next to the deb/AppImage. The Windows portable zip isrenamed to
-windows-portable.zipfor symmetry (no public release shipped theold name yet).
Independent of the updater work — a portable zip is not auto-updatable (the
updater's Linux target is the AppImage).

End-to-end portable run (state lands next to the binary) can only be confirmed on
a cut release; the path-resolution change is unit-tested and the zip step mirrors
the already-working Windows one.
