emrg: guard icon-gen step against runner hangs (apt/Chrome headless timeouts)

[argszero]

The v0.2.55 Build Release (run 32233055863) hung deterministically on the ubuntu-24.04 x86_64 job at the 'Generate icon assets' step — twice (fresh run + rerun), ~12-19 min each, and had to be cancelled. Root cause: the step has no timeout anywhere in the path:

• sudo apt-get update && apt-get install librsvg2-bin can block forever on a slow/network-starved runner;
• the gen-assets.sh Chrome/Chromium headless fallback has no timeout, so a hung Chrome blocks the job indefinitely (the previous 4/5 jobs were already SUCCESS — only this step stalled).

Changes (2 files, +19/-3):

• packaging/gen-assets.sh: wrap the Chrome headless renderer with timeout 90 (when the timeout binary exists) so a stuck renderer falls through to the next renderer; add --no-sandbox on Linux (runner container); document the v0.2.55 lesson inline.
• .github/workflows/build-release.yml: guard the Linux apt-get update/install with timeout 180 each, falling back to the (now time-bounded) Chrome headless path on failure.

Verification: bash -n packaging/gen-assets.sh OK, workflow YAML parses, local bash packaging/gen-assets.sh regenerates all assets (icon.png/512/256/icns/ico), full suite 976 passed + 1 skipped (977 collected, doc-count guard consistent).

✅ LGTM — cycle. Root cause verified (v0.2.55 Build Release 32233055863 hung on ubuntu x86_64 'Generate icon assets' twice — other 4 jobs SUCCESS), fix adds timeouts at both apt-get and Chrome-headless sites plus Linux --no-sandbox; bash -n + YAML parse + local gen-assets run + full suite (976 passed + 1 skipped) all green.

✅ LGTM — cycle. Head unchanged (33a79c5), CI test + test-windows both PASS (run 32236993767), diff re-verified: timeout guards at apt-get (180s) and Chrome headless (90s) + Linux --no-sandbox. Second consecutive.
