feat: add ARM64 Linux build target and download detection (#427)

- CI: add ubuntu-24.04-arm matrix entry with aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
- Node sidecar: download linux-arm64 Node.js bundle for ARM runners
- Download API: add linux-appimage-arm64 pattern for aarch64 AppImage
- Download banner: show both x64 and ARM64 Linux options (UA can't distinguish)
- Desktop updater: map Linux aarch64 to linux-appimage-arm64 for in-app updates
- Smoke test: fix AppImage search path for cross-target builds
