Subject: [PATCH] feat: add spindle to build linux appimage

Adds a spindle workflow that packages the Linux AppImage, on the microvm
engine with a NixOS image. steam-run is included because Electron's prebuilt
binary cannot run unpatched on NixOS; gcc, pkg-config, openssl and python are
there for the node-gyp build that better-sqlite3 needed.

Pins electron to an exact version, in the manifest and in electron-builder's
own electronVersion, so the packaged runtime cannot drift from the one the
build resolved.

Squashed from 26 commits on the spindles branch. The iteration those commits
record was against a tree that predates apps/desktop/main/datastore.ts moving
to node:sqlite, and replaying them individually onto the current main
conflicts in apps/desktop/package.json, where the lines they edit no longer
exist. The `bash` prefixes they added at two call sites are omitted here; a
portable shebang in scripts/timed.sh replaces them in a later commit.
