Ship a legacy GTK3 NetBird UI package alongside the GTK4 one

Wails v3 builds on GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0 by default, but distros that don't
ship WebKitGTK 6.0 yet (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, RHEL 9, Fedora <=39)
can't install the GTK4 packages. Add a parallel legacy build via the
-tags gtk3 path (removed upstream in Wails v3.1).

The project's own XEmbed tray host links GTK4 and uses GTK4-only
popup-menu APIs, so it can't compile against GTK3. Rather than port the
~150-line C menu layer, exclude it on gtk3 builds (!gtk3 constraint on
xembed_host_linux.go + xembed_tray_linux.c) and add a pure-Go stub
(xembed_host_gtk3_linux.go) where xembedTrayAvailable() returns false.
The watcher probe then exits immediately, so the in-process XEmbed
fallback is absent on gtk3 builds -- the tray still works on desktops
that ship their own StatusNotifierWatcher, only the minimal-WM fallback
is unavailable.

goreleaser gains a netbird-ui-gtk3 build plus deb/rpm nfpm blocks (same
netbird-ui package name, GTK3/WebKit2GTK 4.1 deps) routed to dedicated
legacy repo paths. The release_ui CI job installs both dev stacks on the
runner so goreleaser builds both Linux variants natively.
