Release Stable Build v2.2.1 (#258)

* fix: resolve cross-platform EPERM permissions errors

modManager.js:
- Switch from hardcoded 'junction' to dynamic symlink type based on OS (fixing Linux EPERM).
- Add retry logic for directory removal to handle file locking race conditions.
- Improve broken symlink detection during profile sync.

gameManager.js:
- Implement retry loop (3 attempts) for game directory removal in updateGameFiles to prevent EBUSY/EPERM errors on Windows.

paths.js:
- Prevent fs.mkdirSync failure in getModsPath by pre-checking for broken symbolic links.

* fix: missing pacman builds

* prepare release for 2.1.1

minor fix for EPERM error permission

* prepare release 2.1.1

minor fix EPERM permission error

* prepare release 2.1.1

* Update README.md Windows Prequisites for ARM64 builds

* fix: remove broken symlink after detected

* fix: add pathexists for paths.js to check symlink

* fix: isbrokenlink should be true to remove the symlink

* add arch package .pkg.tar.zst for release

* fix: release workflow for build-arch and build-linux

* build-arch job now only build arch .pkg.tar.zst package instead of the whole generic linux.
* build-linux job now exclude .pacman package since its deprecated and should not be used.

* fix: removes pacman build as it replaced by tar.zst and adds build:arch shortcut for pkgbuild

* aur: add proper VCS (-git) PKGBUILD

created clean VCS-based PKGBUILD following arch packaging conventions.

this explicitly marked as a rolling (-git) build and derives its version dynamically from git tags and commit history via pkgver(). previous hybrid approach has been changed.

key changes:
- use -git suffix to clearly indicate rolling source builds
- set pkgver=0 and compute the actual version via pkgver()
- build only a directory layout using electron-builder (--dir)
- avoid generating AppImage, deb, rpm, or pacman installers
- align build and package steps with Arch packaging guidelines

note: this PKGBUILD is intended for development and AUR use only and is not suitable for binary redistribution or release artifacts.

* ci: add fixed-version PKGBUILD for Arch Linux releases

this PKGBUILD intended for CI and GitHub release artifacts. targets tagged releases only and uses a fixed pkgver that matches the corresponding git tag. all of the VCS logic has been removed to PKGBUILD-git to ensure reproducible builds and stable versioning suitable for binary distribution.

the build process relies on electron-builder directory output (--dir) and packages only the unpacked application into a standard Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst). other distro format are excluded from this path and handled separately.

this change establishes a clear separation between:
- rolling AUR development builds (-git)
- CI-generated, versioned Arch Linux release packages

the result is predictable artifact naming, correct version alignment, and Arch-compliant packaging for downstream users.

* chore: add downloads counter in README.md

* fix: Steam Deck/Ubuntu crash - use system libzstd.so

The bundled libzstd.so is incompatible with glibc 2.41's stricter heap
validation, causing "free(): invalid pointer" crashes.

Solution: Automatically replace bundled libzstd.so with system version
on Linux. The launcher detects and symlinks to /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.

- Auto-detect system libzstd at common paths (Arch, Debian, Fedora)
- Backup bundled version as libzstd.so.bundled
- Create symlink to system version
- Add HYTALE_NO_LIBZSTD_FIX=1 to disable if needed
