M4.11: packaging metadata describes a vector illustration app

Drop the file types and wording carried over from the sibling raster
editor: the macOS exported type now declares .vectorcraft/.drawcraft
(was .pcraft) and the raster imported types (large raster documents, QOI)
are gone; the dev bundle's PDF type is "PDF Document"; Linux categories and
keywords say vector graphics (no trademark keyword), the AppStream
description and screenshot show VectorCraft, and the deb/rpm, MSI and web
embedding descriptions say vector illustration app. File associations stay
as they are. An xtask test rejects raster-editor wording in packaging/.
