Check shipped libraries against the Frame; keep OpenSSL out of the bundle (iteration 2, step 7)

package-release.sh refuses a package whose ELF files need newer glibc or
OpenSSL symbol versions than the Frame has (D35); only the version needs
section counts. The Qt bundler resolved libmosquitto's dependencies and
shipped Debian's OpenSSL 3.5; libssl/libcrypto are now excluded, since
SteamOS provides OpenSSL 3. Phase 3 of iteration 2 is done; PROGRESS.md
has the manual checklist for phase 4.

| 4 | `kill -9` → unavailable (last will) | PC + HA | open |

| 6 | HA restart → device republished after the birth message | PC + HA | open |
| 7 | Two settings files with different device names → two HA devices | PC + HA | open |
| 8 | Login and, if the broker offers it, TLS against the user's broker | PC + HA | open |
| 9 | `--ha-remove --config …` → device gone from HA | PC + HA | open |
| 10 | Package on the Frame: starts with SteamVR, connects, tab shows the status; "Quit app" → unavailable | Frame | open |

- Step 7: `package-release.sh` checks the symbol versions of every shipped ELF file against
the Frame (glibc 2.39, OpenSSL 3.2.1; D35); a test with a too low limit names the files
and refuses the package. Building the bundled package showed two problems, both fixed:
the check read version *definitions* too (false positives from libssl), and the bundler
shipped Debian's OpenSSL 3.5 for libmosquitto (now excluded; SteamOS provides OpenSSL).
Checked:
- system-Qt package 5.0 MB (`lib/libmosquitto.so.1`, its copyright file; the binary is
12 MB, 11 MB of it debug info); bundled package 45 MB, no OpenSSL, libmosquitto once;
both need at most `GLIBC_2.38`, `OPENSSL_3.0.0`.
- generated `uninstall.sh` with a stub binary and a stub `pkill`: stop, `--ha-remove`,
unregister; a failing `--ha-remove` prints the warning and still unregisters.
- `container-test.sh` 13/13, no Vulkan validation messages.
