Release v0.3.7

Linux packaging cleanup on top of v0.3.6:

- Install binary as /usr/bin/screenmcp (was /usr/bin/screenmcp-linux).
  Cleaner name; dpkg's upgrade path removes the old screenmcp-linux
  file automatically. Cargo crate name unchanged.
- .deb (both local build.sh and CI release.yml) now declares the
  full runtime dep set so tray-icon + winit have everything they
  dlopen / link to: libayatana-appindicator3-1 | libappindicator3-1,
  libxkbcommon-x11-0, libgtk-3-0t64 alternative for Ubuntu 24.04+,
  plus libasound2 (was only in CI, not build.sh).
- screenmcp.desktop Exec updated to /usr/bin/screenmcp.

v0.3.6's CI-built .deb shipped without libayatana-appindicator3-1
declared, which meant the v0.3.6 tray fix could silently fail on
machines that didn't already happen to have that lib installed.
v0.3.7 fixes that.
