Native Linux x86-64 build

The GitHub Actions workflow Native x86-64 build publishes two artifacts:

• tsp-activities-linux-x86_64: the standalone GUI and timer binaries.
• tsp-activities-linux-x86_64-portable: a portable tarball with the binaries, app assets, minimal theme configuration/font/UI assets, and ready-to-populate Roms/, Imgs/, and Emus/ directories.

Extract the portable archive and run ./activities.x86 directly. The binary resolves assets, themes, emulator configuration, and the database relative to its own location, so it does not depend on the terminal's current working directory. The app creates data/ and data/games.db on first launch.

The native build requires a 64-bit Linux system with SDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_image, and SQLite runtime libraries installed.
