Zoltan Papp 6044663788 [client] Declare GTK4/WebKitGTK runtime deps for the Linux UI packages (#6893)
The 0.75.0 UI is built against GTK 4.14 (Ubuntu 24.04 runner) and Wails
v3 calls gdk_monitor_get_scale (GTK 4.14+) unconditionally, but the
deb/rpm packages only depended on netbird. On distros shipping an older
GTK4 (Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 9, openSUSE Leap 15.6) the package installed
fine and then died at startup with a symbol lookup error (#6890).

Declare the real runtime dependencies so package managers reject the
install up front instead:

- deb: libgtk-4-1 (>= 4.14) and libwebkitgtk-6.0-4
- rpm: rich (boolean) dependencies that accept both the Fedora/RHEL and
the SUSE package names, with the 4.14 floor: (gtk4 >= 4.14 or libgtk-4-1
>= 4.14) (webkitgtk6.0 or libwebkitgtk-6_0-4)

Rich deps are supported by dnf and zypper (RPM 4.13+); the pinned
goreleaser v2.16.0 -> nfpm v2.46.3 -> rpmpack v0.7.1 chain passes the
parenthesized form through verbatim. On RHEL/Alma/Rocky 10 the
webkitgtk6.0 package comes from EPEL, which becomes an install
prerequisite for the UI.

The wails3 packaging config (client/ui/build/linux/nfpm/nfpm.yaml, local
dev packaging only) is kept in sync.
