Add regression coverage for both AUR launchers.

The terminal test supplies APPDIR directly, so it does not test either launcher. Exercise each launcher with APPIMAGE unset and assert that AppRun receives the expected exported APPDIR. The test should fail with the old launchers.

Review comment at @packaging/aur/t3code-bin/PKGBUILD at line 78:
Add regression coverage for both AUR launchers by invoking each with APPIMAGE
unset and verifying that AppRun receives the expected APPDIR exported by the
launcher. Ensure the tests exercise the launcher scripts rather than supplying
APPDIR directly, and fail if either launcher retains the old behavior.

Thanks. I left this out on purpose: nothing in the repo tests packaging/aur today, and CI doesn't build the AUR packages, so a launcher test would mean adding a new packaging test harness just for this one-line change. The PR body has the before/after run of the real AppRun with both launchers. If maintainers want a packaging-level test, I'm happy to add it in a follow-up.

@SusieeTheLinuxUser Thanks for explaining the trade-off. I won’t insist on a new test harness in this PR.

The reported check used captured environments and a copy of the scrub; it did not relaunch the installed app with the new launcher. Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for launcher regression coverage?
