Initial O3DE Flatpak packaging + Gitea CI

Repackage the official O3DE Linux .deb as a Flatpak and publish it as a
static OSTree repo on the 'pages' branch for install via flatpak remote.

- org.o3de.O3DE.yaml: flatpak-builder manifest (extracts the .deb into /app)
- o3de-wrapper.sh: launcher that locates the versioned o3de binary at runtime
- desktop + AppStream metadata under the app-id
- scripts/: live version resolver and local build helper
- .gitea/workflows/build-flatpak.yml: daily check -> build -> publish -> tag
