refactor: modernise RPM builder with Python tooling v2

- Migrate from legacy shell-based build system to modern Python tooling
- Update all metadata.yaml files to new schema with per-distro builds
- Standardise build scripts with curl -L, envsubst, and error handling
- Convert nfpm.yaml templates to use environment variable substitution
- Update Dockerfile to accept all package metadata as build arguments
- Modernise Makefile to use new Python build tool commands
- Update CI workflow to use tools/build instead of make
