Publish a fixed-name APK so the latest build has a permanent link

GitHub's /releases/latest/download/<name> redirect needs a file name
that stays put, and the release asset is named after its version. Each
production release now carries the same build twice: the versioned copy,
and a plain ProLibertateGames.apk, which makes this link permanent:

  .../releases/latest/download/ProLibertateGames.apk

Only the production channel gets one. /releases/latest skips
prereleases, which is exactly what stops a production install being
handed a dev build, so there is no equivalent dev link to offer.

The updater now picks its asset by name rather than taking the first
.apk it sees. Both copies are byte-identical, so nothing would have
broken either way, but relying on upload order for which file gets
installed is not something to leave lying around.

Both files below are the same build. \`ProLibertateGames.apk\` is a copy under a fixed name, so this link always fetches the newest release and can be bookmarked or shared:
