Description

• Bumps the Flatpak runtime (org.freedesktop.Platform) from the deprecated 23.08 to 25.08.
• Updated flatpak.baseVersion and runtimeVersion in electron-builder.yml from '23.08' to '25.08'
• Adds dedicated build:flatpak npm script for building .flatpak bundles
• Generates bundle at dist/open-webui.flatpak (~92 MB)
• I installed/tested the generated the flatpak bundle on my laptop and it is working properly.
• The next step would be testing this change on the CI/CD Github pipeline.

Related Issues

• The main issue this PR resolves for me was the dependency on the deprecated 23.08 runtime, I didn't wanted to install that dependency.
• The size of the Flathub version of this app for some reason is around 800 MB, I didn't wanted to download that.
