Added Debian package for Mona Sans/Mono fonts

[moritzheiber]

Linux users at GitHub need to manually install Mona Sans/Mono for it to work on their operating system. With the advent of M365, that becomes very relevant since the font is not provided by M365 at this time, and all documents on Linux are written/produced within the browser (Edge).

This PR adds a Debian package for the approved desktop environment (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS).

Pull request overview

This PR updates the GitHub Actions release workflow to produce and publish a Debian (.deb) package for Mona Sans/Mona Sans Mono (targeting Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), alongside the existing release zip bundles.

Changes:

• Expose the computed version/tag from the build job via job outputs so downstream jobs can reuse them.
• Upload the generated release zip files and built fonts/ directory as artifacts from the build job.
• Add a build-deb job that downloads the built fonts, assembles a .deb, and makes it available to the release job to publish with the rest of the release assets.

Pull request overview

Adds Debian packaging to the existing release workflow so Linux users (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) can install Mona Sans/Mona Sans Mono via a .deb produced alongside the existing zip artifacts.

Changes:

• Expose build job version/tag outputs for downstream jobs.
• Upload build outputs as GitHub Actions artifacts (fonts + release zips).
• Add a build-deb job to assemble and upload a Debian .deb, and update the release job to attach all assets.

• The zip and deb artifacts are uploaded from release-artifacts/*.zip / release-artifacts/*.deb (so files are stored with the release-artifacts/ prefix). Downloading them into path: release-artifacts/ will likely create a nested release-artifacts/release-artifacts/... directory, and then files: release-artifacts/* plus the summary find ... -maxdepth 1 won't see the assets. Download into the workspace root (or change the upload paths / release glob) so the files end up directly under a single release-artifacts/ directory.

Thanks for the contribution. We haven't been able to use this action in a release yet. Hoping it'll work for the next one!
