fix(Linux): Use Release package build and byte helper

[ReenigneArcher]

Description

Updates CI packaging to configure the tests-disabled consumability build as Release instead of Debug, keeping optimized GCC warnings-as-errors coverage without affecting published artifacts. In profiles.cpp, adds a small append_descriptor_bytes helper (with <initializer_list>) and uses it in gamepad descriptor assembly to reduce repeated vector insert boilerplate.
