[OSGeoLive] Preparations for the final 17.0 iso

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi all,

Some updates:

* Desktop background for FOSS4G 2025 (DONE)
* Update screenshots in documentation (DONE: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/commit/9ed35223364a2ac88b631900a460580912a13e66)
* Finalize the projects to be included in the iso (DONE: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/commit/cb7bdcdc5c1c6503bda50f912ebc87a7f4f84591)
* Build the documentation for the iso (In progress)
* Copy all the deb packages to the release ppa (TODO)
* Build the RC1 iso (TODO)
* Test RC1 (repeat with RC2 etc if needed) (TODO)
* Publish the final iso (TODO)
* Prepare the VM version (TODO)
* Publish VM version (TODO)
* Update website to point to 17.0 (TODO)

Unfortunately, since there were no recent packaging/version updates, we 
have to move the following projects to VM only status:
* GeoNode
* GeoNetwork
* EOxServer
* ZOO-Project
* t-rex

We are considering to include Docker files for some of those projects in 
the VM version.

Best regards,
Angelos
