Use system ICU module and remove local build

Stop backing up and restoring a locally built libicu and instead symlink the distribution ICU module (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mod_icu.so) into /opt/linkding/libicu.so. Add libsqlite3-mod-icu to dependencies and create the symlink after building the frontend. Remove the entire manual download/compile flow for the SQLite ICU extension and its related backups, simplifying installation and relying on the system-provided ICU extension.
