Enhance Linux build packaging and cleanup

Adjust build-linux CI to produce smaller, self-contained AppImages: enable silent build output, add zip_include_packages so key libs (PySide6, shiboken6, requests, PIL, packaging) are packaged, and add extra excludes (pydoc, doctest, email). Use python -OO for optimized bytecode. Expand post-build trimming to remove screenshots, Qt translations, unused PySide6 plugins and other Qt artifacts (Qt6Web*, Qt6Pdf*) with informative logging. These changes reduce package size and avoid shipping unnecessary runtime components.
