fix(linux-iso): Fix ISO build script syntax errors and mobile app integration

- Fix corrupted kernel/initrd extraction section
- Fix unmount commands (proc/sys/dev)
- Fix isolinux and GRUB configuration syntax
- Fix mksquashfs error handling
- Add mobile app build and integration
- Create systemd service for mobile server
- Update Firefox kiosk to launch mobile UI
- Add Capacitor Android build copying
- Improve GitLab CI error handling (fail on missing tools)
- Update completion messages with mobile features

This resolves ISO build failures and properly packages the Ingress-style mobile UI into the bootable Linux distribution.
