Subject: [PATCH] linux: work around linuxdeploy strip failure on newer
 toolchains

AppImage bundling fails on Fedora/Arch-family distros: linuxdeploy's
bundled strip binary doesn't understand the .relr.dyn ELF section that a
newer glibc/binutils emits, and errors on every system library it tries to
strip. NO_STRIP=true skips that step. Applied it in the release workflow
and documented it for building from source.

+On Linux, the `.deb`/`.rpm` bundle fine as-is, but on distros with a newer
+toolchain (Fedora, Arch, …) the AppImage step can fail — linuxdeploy's
+bundled `strip` predates glibc's `.relr.dyn` relocation section and chokes
+on every system library (`unknown type [0x13] section '.relr.dyn'`). Skip
+stripping to work around it:
+
+```bash
+NO_STRIP=true pnpm tauri build --bundles appimage
+```
