Every release workflow hardcoded a canary base version (0.5.0 in
Apple/Android/rpm/flatpak/deb, 0.3 in windows-msix/windows-host/decky) that
had to be hand-bumped on each stable release and wasn't. With stable at
v0.6.0, every canary was a version *behind* stable — e.g. the Apple canary
showed up on TestFlight as 0.5.0 while 0.6.0 was already published.
Add scripts/ci/pf-version.{sh,ps1} (bash + pwsh twin) as the single source of
truth: stable = the vX.Y.Z tag; canary = latest stable tag with minor+1,
patch 0 (v0.6.0 -> 0.7.0), so canary is always exactly one minor ahead of the
newest release with zero maintenance. Falls back to the workspace Cargo.toml
version when no tag is fetchable. All workflows now eval/call it and format
their own channel suffix off $PF_BASE; only the canary branch changed, stable
branches and per-channel suffixes are untouched. channels.md drops the old
manual "bump the canary base" release step.
