Subject: [PATCH] fix(config): accept 'linux' platform string in getStartDir

The Linux release workflow runs `build.py --platform=linux`
(.github/workflows/build-installers.yml:226), which writes
`platform = 'linux'` into src/Build.py. Config.getStartDir() only
matched 'libredesktop' or 'Linux' (capitalized), so the PyInstaller
binary raised RuntimeError("UNKNOWN PLATFORM: linux") during
Config.__init__ and the daemon never started.

Source installs were unaffected because they set platform = 'source'.

Add 'linux' (lowercase) to the accepted tuple so every official
Linux release tarball boots. Keeping 'libredesktop' and 'Linux' for
backwards compatibility with any out-of-tree builds.

Fixes #33
