fix(ci): install the full xcb runtime dependency set for the AppImage

Fixing these one missing .so at a time was too slow; pull in the
standard set of libxcb-* packages Qt's xcb platform plugin needs
(cursor, icccm, image, keysyms, randr, render(-util), shape, shm,
sync, xfixes, xinerama, xkb, util), none of which ubuntu-22.04 pulls
in on their own now that Qt itself comes from aqtinstall.

fix(ci): install libxcb-cursor0 for the AppImage's xcb plugin

Another qxcb runtime dependency not pulled in on ubuntu-22.04 without
the apt Qt package.

fix(ci): install libxkbcommon-x11-0 for the AppImage's xcb plugin

linuxdeploy-plugin-qt failed deploying libqxcb.so: it depends on
libxkbcommon-x11.so.0, which qt6-base-dev doesn't pull in on
ubuntu-22.04 (it was previously satisfied indirectly by the apt Qt
package we just replaced with aqtinstall).

fix(ci): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH so linuxdeploy finds aqtinstall's Qt libs

linuxdeploy resolves the executable's shared-library dependencies with
ldd, which only searches LD_LIBRARY_PATH — aqtinstall's Qt lives
outside the system search path, so libQt6PrintSupport.so.6 (and co)
weren't found.

fix(ci): build AppImage on ubuntu-22.04 with aqtinstall Qt

The AppImage catalog's automated test flagged our build as not
self-contained: ubuntu-latest (24.04) links it against glibc 2.38,
which crashes on older still-supported distros. Build on the oldest
supported Ubuntu LTS instead, and pull Qt 6.5.3 via aqtinstall since
22.04's own qt6-base package is too old (6.2) for this project.

feat(io): Save Configuration dialog for JPEG/WebP quality

Paint.NET shows a "Save Configuration" step after a lossy format is chosen
in Save As, letting the user trade quality against file size with a live
preview. It was the one import/export feature genuinely missing here — the
menus already matched Paint.NET (Open = import, Save As = format choice).

Add SaveConfigDialog: a quality slider (0..100) with a live preview of the
compressed result and a real estimated file size (encoded in memory, not
guessed). It is shown only for JPEG/WebP; PNG/BMP/TIFF/.psw save directly as
before. Document::save() gains a quality argument and remembers the last one,
so a plain Save after Save As keeps the chosen setting like Paint.NET does.

Test: JPEG at quality 10 is smaller than at 95, a plain re-save reuses the
remembered quality, and the dialog is offered for JPEG/WebP but not PNG.

Changes since v1.1.74 / Nouveautés depuis v1.1.74

fix(packaging): actually ship the WebP (and TIFF) codec (issue #19)

WebP and TIFF were already offered in Open/Save, but Qt decodes them through
runtime image-format PLUGINS that aren't linked — so they silently failed unless
qt6-image-formats-plugins happened to be installed:

• .deb: added it to CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS (SHLIBDEPS can't see plugins).
• AppImage: installed on the CI runner so linuxdeploy bundles libqwebp/libqtiff.
• CI / package build: same package added.
• Flatpak: the org.kde.Platform runtime already includes qtimageformats, so no
  change needed there.

Adds a WebP round-trip test that runs where the codec is present (CI) and skips
cleanly on a bare dev box. No UI change — WebP is just a working entry in the
file dialogs now. Free-angle rotation was already present (Layers ▸ Rotate/Zoom).

Tests: 431 (+ the guarded webp round-trip).

Changes since v1.1.73 / Nouveautés depuis v1.1.73

fix(tools): brush colour-switch mid-stroke; drop drawing while stylus hovers

Follow-ups from issue #17 (v1.1.73 tablet feedback).

Colour switch mid-stroke: pressing/releasing the other draw-button during a
stroke now switches the stroke's colour without a gap (the earlier fix kept the
stroke going but froze the colour). The drawn coverage is baked into a running
base and a fresh buffer continues in the new colour, so alternating
primary/secondary paints a continuous two-colour line. One undo entry for the
whole stroke. Verified with a mouse simulation: first half primary, second half
secondary, no gap.

Hover blob on the secondary (barrel) button: the canvas now tracks tablet
proximity (TabletEnterProximity/LeaveProximity). While the pen is in proximity
but the tip is not touching, no press or move draws — closing the barrel-button
hover blob, not just the tip hover. The gate is armed only while the pen is in
proximity, so mouse drawing is never affected (verified on screen).

Tests: 431. The proximity gate can't be exercised without a stylus here; needs
an on-tablet confirmation from the reporter.

Automatic build of main — version 1.1.73.

Changes since v1.1.72 / Nouveautés depuis v1.1.72

fix(tools): brush/eraser button alternation; keep tablet pressure in contact strokes

Addresses the three follow-ups on issue #17 (tablet feedback):

1. Mouse: the stroke stopped when alternating primary/secondary. The brush and
   eraser now ignore a second draw-button pressed mid-stroke (no restart) and end
   the stroke only once no draw-button remains held (event->buttons()), so
   releasing one of two held buttons no longer cuts the line.

2/3. Tablet: a full-size blob at the start of a primary pen stroke, and no
pressure on the secondary (barrel-button) pen stroke. On some drivers the
stylus press is reported as a NON-synthesised mouse event, so the "reset to
full pressure on a real mouse press" (#16) fired on tablet contact — making
the first dab full size and pinning the secondary stroke at full size. The
reset now also requires the pen NOT to be in contact (m_penInContact), so
during any pen stroke (primary or secondary) the tablet keeps driving the
pressure/size. Mouse is unaffected (never "in contact").

Tests: 429 -> 431. The button-alternation fix has a mouse simulation that was
confirmed to fail on the old code. The tablet reset gate can't be exercised
without a stylus here — verified it doesn't disturb mouse drawing; needs an
on-tablet confirmation from the reporter.

test: drive the real Move tool end-to-end on a pasted layer (issue #18)

Adds an end-to-end check that grabs a pasted block and drags it +100px with the
actual MoveTool, asserting it arrives intact (right edge not clipped) and the old
position is cleared — the exact user scenario, mutation-verified to fail on the
pre-fix code. Tests: 428 -> 429.

Changes since v1.1.70 / Nouveautés depuis v1.1.70

fix(core): pasted/imported image is a canvas-sized layer, movable without clipping

A pasted image became a layer of its OWN size (the paste dimensions), not the
canvas size. Every tool assumes layers are canvas-sized — so the Move tool's
whole-layer bake, which composites into a buffer of the layer's size, clipped the
pixels to that little box: moving a pasted image progressively cropped it to a
shrinking strip instead of letting it travel across the canvas (issue #18).

Document::addLayer(image, name) now composites the image into a canvas-sized
transparent layer at the top-left, restoring the invariant. Paste and Import both
go through it; a layer restored from a .psw (already canvas-sized) is unchanged.

Tests: 424 -> 428 (pasted layer is canvas-sized, pixels at top-left, rest
transparent, and a +100px move keeps the pixels — confirmed the check fails on
the old code). Reproduced in-app: the pasted image now moves freely across the
canvas.
