[Release] Kiwix JS PWA 3.5.3 / 3.5.4: Universal PWA (desktop, mobile) and dedicated apps for Linux and Windows

[Jaifroid]

Kiwix PWA is an offline browser for any type of ZIM content. It works offline on any device that can run Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Brave, Edge, etc. In Chromium and Safari, it can be installed as a standalone app (and in Firefox on Android). It has three different dark themes and popovers for ZIM links in Wikimedia ZIMs. There are dedicated Electron apps for Linux and Windows, including ARM64. For Win 10/11 users, an auto-updating version is in the Microsoft Store (Win10/11).

The main changes in this version are: when installed as a PWA via Firefox, or on Android via Chromium browsers, the app now prompts the user to default to using the much faster, secure Origin Private File System; better downloading ergonomics for use with the OPFS; better styling of popovers in dark mode.
