Optimize PR pipeline workflow with dynamic matrix and performance improvements

This commit significantly optimizes the GitHub Actions PR pipeline to reduce
build times and runner costs while improving developer experience.

Key optimizations:
- Dynamic matrix generation: Only builds apps mentioned in PR body, eliminating
  wasted runner time from jobs that skip all steps
- Enhanced Gradle caching: Added build cache and more granular cache keys for
  better hit rates (saves 2-5 minutes per build)
- Gradle performance flags: Enabled parallel execution, configuration cache,
  and optimized JVM settings (saves 3-7 minutes per build)
- Shallow clone: Added fetch-depth: 1 to all checkouts (saves 30-60 seconds)
- Removed unit-test dependency: UI/E2E tests now only depend on build job,
  allowing parallel execution (saves 5-10 minutes)
- Batch artifact uploads: Combined 3 separate uploads into 1 per app with
  compression and retention settings
- Firebase CLI caching: Cache npm global packages to speed up Firebase CLI
  installation (saves 30-45 seconds)
- Sticky QR code comments: Firebase distribution comments now update in place
  rather than creating duplicates, with timestamps and commit links
- Consolidated Firebase App ID setup: Replaced 3 conditional steps with 1
  case statement
- Fixed bugs: Removed jq dependencies, fixed e2e-tests job name, updated
  artifact download logic

Expected performance gains:
- Per PR (single app): 8-12 minutes faster
- Per PR (all 3 apps): 10-15 minutes faster
- Runner minute savings: 30-40% reduction
- Improved cache hit rates and faster subsequent builds
