ci(server): bundle Android APK into image on tag releases (#397 phase 3)

Final phase of the in-app update flow. release.yml on tag pushes
fetches the APK that flutter.yml is attaching to the same release,
drops it into client/ in the build context, and the Dockerfile's
COPY client/ /app/client/ bakes it into the image.

### How it sequences

flutter.yml and release.yml both trigger on tag pushes and run in
parallel on different runners (flutter-ci vs go-ci). flutter.yml
typically finishes APK build + release attachment in 2-5 min.
release.yml polls the release page for up to 15 min for the APK to
appear, then proceeds. If the APK never lands (flutter.yml failure,
network hiccup), release.yml emits a warning and ships the image
without the bundled APK — server returns 404 from /api/client/version,
banner stays hidden, manual download from the release page still
works. Graceful degradation, not a blocker.

### Repo shape

- client/.gitkeep + client/README.md so the directory exists in git
  and the COPY in the Dockerfile always finds something to copy
- .gitignore excludes client/minstrel.apk + .version so accidental
  commits don't bloat the repo
- Dockerfile: COPY --chown=minstrel:minstrel client/ /app/client/

### Why polling vs cross-workflow trigger

Forgejo Actions' workflow_run support varies by runner version; the
polling approach is universally compatible. If/when we standardize on
a runner that handles workflow_run cleanly, the polling step can
become a `needs:` dependency.

Closes #397.
