Improve RPM build process and Qt6 plugin handling

Refactors the cx_Freeze setup to dynamically include Qt6 plugins if available, ensuring proper QPA support. Replaces the previous RPM build step with a manual process using a custom spec file to bundle all dependencies and avoid auto-detected system requirements. Cleans up packaging metadata and improves file inclusion logic for more reliable Linux builds.
