Update repository URLs to HamRadioOnline organisation (#142)

Browse Source 
* Move remaining references to the HamRadioOnline organisation

The repository moved from praktimarc/kst4contest to
HamRadioOnline/kst4contest. Document the move in the German and English
changelog, point manuals, README, website, AUR packaging and the
version-feed tooling at the new address, and keep accepting pre-move
release URLs in the update-feed validator because published feeds still
carry the old owner. Personal identities (Ko-Fi account, contact
e-mail) stay unchanged.

* Lowercase the owner in the generated Flatpak Pages URL

GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER is now the mixed-case HamRadioOnline, and the
next build would write that spelling into the published flatpakrepo and
flatpakref files. Hostnames are case-insensitive, but the published
metadata should match the documented lowercase address.

* Build the Flatpak against org.freedesktop.Platform 25.08

Runtime branch 24.08 is end-of-life and no longer receives security
updates, so every flatpak update now prints an EOL warning. 25.08 is
the current supported branch on Flathub. The app bundles its own Java
runtime, so the platform bump only changes the base libraries.

With both switched on, the list shows a distance range, for example only stations between 300 and 800 km.

- **Windows installer:** next to the portable ZIP package, stable releases now also ship an MSI installer for Windows (`KST4Contest-v<version>-windows-x64.msi`). It installs KST4Contest for the current user account without administrator rights, adds a Start menu entry and a desktop shortcut, and replaces the existing installation on an update. Settings and database stay under `%USERPROFILE%\.praktiKST` and are shared with a portable copy. This implements the first stage of [Issue #61](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/61).

- **Own site height and highest point of the remote square in the path analysis:** the **Station** tab has two new settings in its path-analysis section. **Own ground height ASL, metres** replaces the elevation-model value at the own locator centre by the height of the actual site; left empty, the elevation model decides as before. **Target station on the highest point of its locator square**, on by default, ends the path at the highest of 25 sampled points of the remote locator square instead of at its centre, because contest stations usually operate from the high ground of their square. The lookup costs one additional request to the elevation service per remote square and session; if it fails, the analysis uses the square centre as before.
- **SO2R with two radios:** the new option **SO2R** on the **TRX sync** tab (off by default) keeps two radios apart. N1MM, DXLog and UCXLog are assigned by `RadioNr`: radio 1 updates MYQRG, radio 2 updates SECONDQRG. For Win-Test, enter one station name per radio. A second PSTRotator (own host and port, on the **Station** tab) adds **Turn ant2** next to **Turn ant1** and a QTF2 field next to QTF. Without SO2R everything stays as before.

### Changed
- **New home on GitHub:** the project moved from the `praktimarc` account to the [HamRadioOnline](https://github.com/HamRadioOnline) GitHub organisation and now lives at [HamRadioOnline/kst4contest](https://github.com/HamRadioOnline/kst4contest). Old links to the repository, the releases, the issues and the wiki redirect to the new address. The Flatpak repository moved as well and now lives at `https://hamradioonline.github.io/kst4contest/`; existing Flatpak installations keep updating through the redirect of the old address, new setups use the new address from the installation manual. The AUR packages point to the new address too.
- **The terrain profile cache is separate:** computed terrain profiles now live in their own shared file `terrainprofilecache.db` and are stored per owner. Previously the whole cache was dropped whenever the callsign or locator changed, which would have discarded every computed profile on each profile switch.
- **The default login callsign is empty:** if `preferences.xml` has no login callsign, the field now stays empty instead of falling back to a callsign compiled into the program. A newly created profile therefore deliberately starts without credentials.

- **Settings take effect with Apply:** changes in the settings window no longer take effect while they are typed, but with **Apply/Close prefs** or **Save settings**; **Connect** applies them first as well. This also works during a running session. Closing the window, switching the operator profile or exiting with changes pending first asks whether to apply or discard them, or to go back. Colours, language and the login data on the **Station** tab still take effect immediately.
- **Windows open on the main window's screen:** the station map, monitor, settings, update window, top candidates and the notice dialogs used to open on the primary screen, even when the main window was on another one or the primary screen was switched off. They now open centred on the screen the main window is currently on. A window that was moved during the running session reopens there next time, as long as its title bar can still be reached on a connected screen. With the new option **Reopen windows across restarts where they were last moved to** on the **GUI** tab (off by default), the main window and all other windows also keep their position across restarts; a stored position is only used when the very same screen (same place and resolution) is connected again. A window larger than the screen is reduced to its usable area, also when it is moved onto a smaller screen later, for example a 640x480 monitor; the stored window size stays unchanged. This fixes [Issue #59](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/59).

- **Background resources are released:** the ON4KST supervisor thread, the sked reminder scheduler, the reachability executor, the PSTRotator retry scheduler and the map tile proxy are released when the chat controller is closed. They used to keep running until the program ended.
- **AP column sorts numerically:** the **AP [minutes / pot%]** column in the user list and in the directed messages was sorted by its text, which put `13 (75%)` above `3 (50%)`. It now sorts by the minutes of the first aeroplane and, for equal minutes, by the better potential first; empty and `nil` cells go to the bottom in ascending order. This fixes [Issue #87](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/87).
- **No automatic cluster spots for worked stations:** the local DX Cluster server generated spots from directional opportunities without checking the worked state. A spot is no longer created when the station has already been worked on the band of the detected frequency; without per-band information the global worked state counts. Manual spots from the map and the test spot in the settings are unchanged. This fixes [Issue #91](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/91).
- **QSO monitoring no longer picks up foreign entries:** besides the list of monitored callsigns, `preferences.xml` carried a second list `snifferWords` that never appeared in the user interface. On loading, its entries were nevertheless added to QSO monitoring as callsigns. The dead list is removed; a `snifferWords` element in older files is ignored. This fixes [Issue #103](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/103).
- **No second-category locator any more:** internally there was a setting for a separate locator of the second chat category that appeared neither in the user interface nor in `preferences.xml`, so it always kept its compiled-in default. During login that default was compared with the station's locator and a warning was emitted that the second locator is ignored. ON4KST uses one locator per TCP session anyway; the setting and the warning are removed. This fixes [Issue #104](https://github.com/praktimarc/kst4contest/issues/104).
- **Linux beta packages upgrade to the stable package:** DEB and RPM packages of a beta tag carried the same version number as the following stable package, so `dnf` and `dpkg` refused the upgrade as an equal version. Beta packages now carry a pre-release number (`1.50.0-0.beta.001`) below the stable package (`1.50.0-1`), and the release run aborts when the tag does not match `composePackageVersion`.

- **UCXLog packets are no longer cut off:** after a short UDP packet, the listener for UCXLog-compatible loggers read every longer following packet only up to the length of the short one, so log entries could arrive incomplete. In addition, disconnecting now closes the listener's socket immediately instead of waiting for the next timeout. UCXLog packets and AirScout replies are now always decoded as UTF-8 instead of the system default, so umlauts in station names and operator callsigns no longer turn into garbage on Windows.

The backup entry or the incomplete packet is now skipped, and the listener keeps receiving. Any other unexpected error while processing a packet now drops only that packet and shows a status message instead of stopping the listener.
