AppImageLauncher exports DESKTOPINTEGRATION even after
X-AppImage-Integrate=false makes it skip the AppImage. AppRun treated that
variable as "already integrated" and wrote no .desktop file, so the menu
stayed empty. Skip our entry only when another .desktop file's Exec already
points at this AppImage.

* fix(linux): AppImage registers its desktop entry and icon on launch
On Wayland the compositor resolves the dock icon from the window's app_id
(ai.storyteller.photocraft, already set) against a host-installed .desktop
file. An AppImage installs nothing, so every run showed the generic Wayland
logo (#593). The app cannot set the icon itself: winit 0.30.13 (egui 0.36.2's
pin) has an empty set_window_icon on Wayland; xdg-toplevel-icon-v1 landed on
winit's 0.31 line only.
- packaging/linux/AppRun is a script instead of a symlink: best-effort
integration into $XDG_DATA_HOME before launch (desktop entry with Exec
rewritten to the AppImage's path and TryExec dropped, hicolor icons
copied), content-compared so an unchanged install costs a few cmp calls,
refreshed when the AppImage moves, PHOTOCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1
opts out, and no failure can block the launch (best-effort steps silent).
- packaging/linux/apprun-test.sh: 8-case smoke (passthrough, Exec rewrite
with spaces, metadata preserved, idempotence, move refresh, opt-out,
unwritable data dir, extracted AppDir). packaging-lint runs it and now
shellchecks AppRun.
- Docs: releasing.md Linux section; README install paragraph.
Fixes#593
* AppRun: skip desktop integration when the AppImage path needs Exec escaping
A quote, backquote, dollar, backslash, percent or line break in the path would need
desktop-entry escaping (a line break could even add keys), so integration is skipped
and the app still launches.
