fix(arch): build with custom-protocol so the package can load its own UI

The PKGBUILD ran a bare `cargo build --release`. Without
`--features tauri/custom-protocol` Tauri does not embed the frontend and serves
it from devUrl instead, so the package compiled, linked, installed and passed
every check — then launched into "Could not connect to localhost: Connection
refused". `tauri build` passes that feature for you and the Android build passes
it explicitly; this path never did, so the Arch package has never worked.

Adds a check() that catches it at build time. It tests for the *assets*, not for
the dev URL: devUrl is part of the config blob generate_context!() embeds either
way, so grepping for it reports a failure on a correct build. A content-hashed
filename from the vite output can only appear if the bundle was embedded — which
is also why the fixed binary is ~400 KB larger.

Found by installing the package and launching it, which is the only thing that
would have found it.
