v2.3.3.0 Imagine the AppImage

Release Notes v2.3.3.0

Highlights: Shelly grows more multilingual and more capable. This release adds three brand-new translations — Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), and an expanded Hungarian — alongside refreshed German and general localization updates. Under the hood, package management gets smarter with a new MarkCommand for setting install reasons, a PurifyPackages flag for clearing orphans, an AUR upgrade diff view in the UI, and a repository column in the upgrade summary. We also squashed a Wayland crash, fixed Flatpak addon installs, and refactored AppImage and AppStream handling.
