2.8.0 merge lost the Linux splash fix - black startup window is back #606

Description

@BenJule

The black startup window from #161 is back in current 2.8.0-beta builds (reported with a build from 2026-07-12, build time 20260712-182852).

The fix from #162 got dropped during the 2.8.0 merge: upstream changed the BBLSplashScreen constructor call in GUI_App.cpp (wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN, 0 instead of | wxSPLASH_TIMEOUT, 10000), so the merge took upstream's version of that block and silently reverted our wxYield/Raise/Update change back to the old #ifndef linux guard.

Affected branches: build/2.8.0-beta, release-candidate/v02.08.00.50-bj.0 and release-candidate/v02.07.01.62-bj.0 (checked all three, they all carry the old block again).

Plan: re-apply the #162 change on build/2.8.0-beta, then cherry-pick onto both release candidates before tagging.
