Add comprehensive artifact saving to CI workflow

- Create artifacts directory with all built packages and files
- Generate downloadable TAR.GZ and ZIP archives
- Include Debian packages (.deb), build summary, Rust binary
- Create detailed artifacts manifest and README
- Make artifacts easily accessible from CI logs
- Provide clear download instructions for users
- Transform CI from 'build and forget' to 'build and preserve'
