Fork Departures

This fork diverges from fedora-plasma-canary in the following ways:

• Kinoite base image: switched the base from fedora-ostree-desktops/base-atomic:rawhide to fedora-ostree-desktops/kinoite:rawhide across the Containerfile, Justfile, and CI workflows.
• Incremental KDE build caching: the kde-build workflow now caches the kde-builder work directory (source + build objects) and the KDE install tree, and drops --refresh-build, so failed builds no longer trigger a full rebuild from scratch.
• Automatic retry of failed source updates: build-kde.py detects modules listed in failed-to-update.log, clears their cached source/build directories, and reruns kde-builder once before giving up.
• Resilient CI pulls: the base container image pull now retries up to three times before failing.
• stop-on-failure: false: kde-builder continues building remaining modules instead of halting on the first failure.
• QMobipocket6 hotfix: removes the broken QMobipocket6 CMake config (references a missing library) to unblock the kfilemetadata build on rawhide.
• Extra build dependency: installs highway-devel, required to build kquickimageeditor.
• Ignore Python build cache artifacts in .gitignore.
