Subject: [PATCH] fix(linux): publish the desktop-file name so Wayland windows
 match their launcher

GNOME Shell pairs a live window with its launcher through the Wayland app_id,
and Qt sends the executable's name (`qbz`) unless the application sets its
desktop-file name. Every Linux package installs the entry as
`com.blitzfc.qbz.desktop`, so the dock painted the generic icon while the app
grid, which reads the .desktop directly, showed the right one; the D-Bus
notification `desktop-entry` hint had the same gap. StartupWMClass covers
X11 only.

Set `QGuiApplication::desktopFileName` to `com.blitzfc.qbz` right after the
application exists (Linux only). Verified the mechanism on an Ubuntu
GNOME/Wayland VM: a `qbz.desktop` symlink made the dock icon appear.
