build: drop the local Python release method, return to CI-only installer builds

Browse Source 
Removes the single-command Python packaging method (build/make_release.py
+ build/build_portable_zip.py + build/macos/build_zip.sh) and the portable
.zip artifacts it produced. Release builds go back to the original GitHub
Actions process: the CI matrix builds one installer per platform (.dmg /
.exe / .AppImage) on tag push and attaches them to a GitHub Release.

Tesseract OCR bundling is preserved: the fetch helpers the workflow depends
on (fetch_tessdata, fetch_tesseract_for_platform) are extracted into a
standalone build/tesseract.py, which build.yml now imports.

Docs (README, build/README, DEVELOPER, TECHNICAL, USER-GUIDE, vendor README,
es translations) updated to drop the portable-zip flavor and point at the
new module.

Pre-built bundles — no Python install, no admin rights, no internet at runtime. Each release ships two flavors per OS: an **installer** that wires up Desktop + Start Menu / Launchpad shortcuts, and a **portable .zip** you unzip and double-click. Pick whichever your IT policy allows.

| Platform | Installer (recommended) | Portable (no install) |
|---|---|---|
| **macOS** | `DataTools-X.Y.Z-mac.dmg` — open, drag DataTools.app into /Applications, launch from Launchpad. | `DataTools-X.Y.Z-mac-portable.zip` — unzip anywhere, double-click `DataTools.app`. |
| **Windows** | `DataTools-X.Y.Z-win-setup.exe` — run installer (per-user, no admin). Desktop shortcut + Start Menu entry created. | `DataTools-X.Y.Z-win-portable.zip` — unzip anywhere, double-click `DataTools.exe`. |
| **Linux** | `DataTools-X.Y.Z-linux-x86_64.AppImage` — `chmod +x`, double-click. | The AppImage is already portable. |

Latest release: see [GitHub Releases](https://git.invixiom.com/giteadmin/datatools-dev/releases) (or the Gumroad listing). Each bundle is ~300 MB unpacked; on first launch the app starts a local server at http://127.0.0.1:8501 and opens your default browser. Nothing leaves your machine — installers and portables are byte-identical inside.

**Tesseract OCR is bundled.** Scanned-PDF support in the PDF Extractor works out of the box on all three platforms — no separate Tesseract install required. License attribution: see [`LICENSE_TESSERACT.txt`](LICENSE_TESSERACT.txt).
