feat(packaging): ship punktfunk-gamescope on RPM and apt too
Until now the patched gamescope reached exactly four kinds of box: the
Bazzite/Fedora-Atomic sysext, the Arch package, the SteamOS installer and a NixOS
option. Everyone else was told to build gamescope from source. A traditional
Fedora-family box — Nobara, plain Fedora, the HTPCs people actually stream from —
therefore ran stock gamescope by default, which streams SDR, cursorless, and
tells every game its display is 60 Hz. That is not a user error; there was no
package to install.

Both new packages REPACK the binary CI already builds rather than building
gamescope again: it is a ~10-minute meson compile of an unrelated tree, cached
per distro base because the binary is soname-coupled to it. The Arch PKGBUILD
stays the one recipe that builds from source, because that is what makepkg is
for.

- packaging/gamescope/punktfunk-gamescope.spec + build-gamescope-rpm.sh. Version
  is derived from the binary's own banner (3.16.25.pfhdr4) — the only source that
  cannot drift from what is in the package. rpmbuild's automatic ELF Requires are
  what stop an f43 build installing on f44.
- packaging/debian/build-gamescope-deb.sh, same shape, with dpkg-shlibdeps for
  Depends.
- rpm.yml packages and publishes it beside the host RPMs; deb.yml gains a cached
  gamescope build (keyed on packaging/gamescope/** alone) and packages it into the
  existing publish loop. Both legs are best-effort, matching the sysext's existing
  rule: no binary, no package, and the host stays on its current SDR path.

Neither package Provides or Conflicts with gamescope — it installs as
/usr/bin/punktfunk-gamescope and only the sessions the host starts itself resolve
it, so a box's own Game Mode keeps using the distro binary.

Both refuse to package a binary without the +pfhdr marker. That marker is the
host's entire capability probe, so a build that lost the patches would install
fine and then silently stream SDR with no cursor.

Verified: build-gamescope-deb.sh produces an installable .deb from a stand-in
binary (correct version derived from the banner, 0755 tree, control fields) and
exits 1 on an unmarked one. The .spec is not yet exercised — no rpm tooling on
the box I had; CI's Fedora leg is its first run.
