chore: remove Flatpak packaging - #176

Conversation
Drop the Flatpak build entirely: manifest, desktop entry, metainfo, build script, CI job, release asset, docs and gitignore entries. The release job no longer needs the non-blocking condition that only existed for the Flatpak build, so it goes back to requiring all three native builds. Also fix the Linux desktop file name: Qt was told the app is "noah.peeters.chimpstackr", but the AppImage ships chimpstackr.desktop, so Wayland compositors could not match the window to its icon.

Summary
Removes Flatpak packaging from the project entirely.
packaging/flatpak/(manifest, desktop entry, metainfo) andscripts/build_flatpak.sh.build-flatpakjob, the.flatpakrelease asset and its row in the release notes template. The release job's!cancelled() && needs.X.result == 'success'condition only existed to keep a Flatpak failure from blocking releases (build(flatpak): bump KDE runtime to 6.10 and make Flatpak non-blocking for releases #172), so it goes back to a plainneeds: [build-macos, build-windows, build-linux]with the tag/dispatchif:.README.md,docs/index.mdanddocs/packaging.md; removed the Flatpak entries from.gitignore.src/run.py: removedFLATPAK_ID/_is_flatpak().Also includes a small Linux fix: Qt's desktop file name was set to
noah.peeters.chimpstackr, but the AppImage shipschimpstackr.desktop, so Wayland compositors couldn't match the window to its icon. It now useschimpstackr.APP_IDis unchanged because Windows uses it for taskbar grouping.Past releases and their
.flatpakassets are left as they are.Test plan
