This also removes platform-specific packaging/signing code used to produce macOS dmg files and Windows NSIS installers, which is now largely handled by Briefcase and the release CI. The custom install scripts for Linux are mostly preserved under qt/installer/linux-template and used in the Briefcase build. ## How to test - [ ] No build problems. - [ ] The `tools/build-installer` scripts still work. - [ ] No CI/release workflow issues. - [ ] No user-visible changes in dev environment and Briefcase build.
