ispyisail a106395679 Add Linux CI: build, unit tests, and the IPC regression gate
Nothing currently builds QElectroTech on Linux in CI, and nothing runs tests/
at all -- the existing workflows build Windows and generate documentation.

Adds one job: configure and build with Qt 6 Debug, run ctest, then run the
IPC open-forwarding regression test.

Verified by running the job's exact step sequence in a clean ubuntu:26.04
container, in both directions:

  with the #868 fix     5/5 unit tests pass, gate passes,  job green
  with the fix reverted 5/5 unit tests pass, gate fails,   job red

The unit tests passing in both arms is the point: the existing suite cannot
see this class of bug, which is what the gate is for.

Three choices that are not cosmetic:

- Runs in an ubuntu:26.04 container rather than on the runner. ubuntu-latest
  ships Qt 6.4; the gate needs 6.10.2, and whether the crash reproduces on
  6.4 has never been checked. A job that cannot go red is worse than none.
- Debug, not Release. The pre-fix commit survives every attempt built
  -O3 -DNDEBUG, so a Release job would never catch a regression here.
- An inconclusive gate run warns rather than fails. It means the crash path
  was not exercised, which proves nothing and is not the same as a
  regression; failing on it would make the job flaky rather than useful.

extra-cmake-modules and the KF6 libraries are installed rather than left to
FetchContent, which otherwise builds ECM from source and fails the configure
demanding Qt6 documentation tools.

Depends on the regression test added in #871.
