Prepares the repository for the release-branch process agreed internally:
one long-lived release-0.N branch per minor, with fixes backported by
cherry-pick and patch releases tagged from the branch.
Pushes to release-* branches now run the Release workflow and publish
immutable sha-* container images, the way pushes to main already do, so
a release branch can be tested before it is tagged. Release branches
never publish the floating "main" image tag. The push-to-main CI
workflows (Go tests on all platforms, frontend UI, install script,
mobile/wasm validation, infrastructure files, license check) also run
on release-* pushes; pull request triggers were already unfiltered, so
backport PRs were covered — this closes the post-merge gap.
Releases are no longer marked latest before signing: make_latest is
now false in all four goreleaser configs, so a release stays published
but not latest until the signing pipeline uploads the signed Windows
and macOS artifacts and marks it latest itself. Previously the release
became GitHub's "Latest release" at publish time, and the download
endpoints that resolve through the latest-release API could serve a
release whose signed installers did not exist yet. prerelease: auto
additionally labels rc tags as prereleases, so a release candidate can
never take the latest slot.
The trigger_sync_tag job is removed: it dispatched a downstream
image build on every v* tag (release candidates included), which would
race the deliberate release-branch build on every release. The android
and ios submodule bumps are unchanged.
Also sets perennial-regex = "^release-" so git-town never syncs or
ships a release branch into main.
- Align default names and reuse same environment variables
- With the uploads now targeting the same stable/yum paths as the GTK4
packages, two packages named netbird-ui with the same version and arch
would collide in the repo indexes. Give the GTK3 variant its own
package name and mark the two as conflicting alternatives.

## Describe your changes
The UI shells out to xdg-open to launch the external browser for the SSO
verification page, which the embedded webview cannot open inline, and to
reveal the debug bundle in the file manager.
client/ui/build/linux/nfpm/nfpm.yaml lists xdg-utils for every package
format, but the released packages are built from the goreleaser configs,
where it was missing: the GTK and WebKitGTK dependencies carried over
and xdg-utils did not. Add it to all four nfpm dependency lists.
## Issue ticket number and link
<!--
Required for anything that changes behavior. Link the issue (or the
validated
discussion it came from) that the NetBird team already agreed on. See

### Checklist
- [x] Is it a bug fix
- [ ] Is a typo/documentation fix
- [ ] Is a feature enhancement
- [ ] It is a refactor
- [ ] Created tests that fail without the change (if possible)
- [ ] I ran and tested this change locally — I did not rely on CI to
find out whether it works
- [ ] This PR has a single purpose (not a fix + refactor + feature in
one)
- [ ] This change is a trivial fix, **OR** it links an issue the NetBird
team agreed on beforehand. Changes to the public API, gRPC protocols,
functionality behavior, CLI / service flags, or new features always need
that agreement first. See
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ticket-first-pr-second).
