polish: AppStream, man page, RPM spec, full lifecycle test (yt0)

M10 (task yt0): polish & packaging.

- data/org.buetow.ggaze.metainfo.xml: AppStream metainfo.
- data/ggaze.1: man page with keybindings reference.
- packaging/ggaze.spec: Fedora RPM spec.
- data/meson.build: installs desktop+metainfo+gschema+man; gnome.post_install.
- tests/test_full_lifecycle.c: scripted elevator-pitch session (open→walk→
  info→trash→undo→grid toggle→quit). 21/21 green, ASan clean.
- Coverage gate flip, quality audit, window-geometry persistence, and full
  GSettings wiring deferred to a follow-up (not blocking v0.1 release).

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+ggaze (GNOME Gaze) is a small, fast, native image viewer for Fedora Linux,
+written in C with GTK4. It opens a file or folder, shows a thumbnail grid,
+and lets you flip through the shoot with vi-style keys, check EXIF, trash
+rejects, and move on. No library, no database, no sidecars.
