Lines removed: 444-449

Removed the following section containing mobile app store download links:

<a href="https://apps.apple.com/be/app/odoo/id1272543640" target="_blank" class="o_expense_mobile_app">
    <img alt="Apple App Store" class="img img-fluid h-100 o_expense_apple_store" src="/hr_expense/static/img/app_store.png"/>
</a>
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.odoo.mobile" target="_blank" class="o_expense_mobile_app">
    <img alt="Google Play Store" class="img img-fluid h-100 o_expense_google_store" src="/hr_expense/static/img/play_store.png"/>
</a>

Impact

Users will no longer see mobile app store download buttons in the expense management interface
The promotional text about snapping pictures of receipts remains visible
The feature description and instructions for mobile expense creation are preserved
All core expense management functionality remains unchanged

Context

The removed links were part of a promotional section encouraging mobile app usage
Links pointed to:
- Apple App Store: Official Odoo mobile app
- Google Play Store: Official Odoo mobile app
The section was visible on desktop browsers (d-none d-md-block class)
The instructional text "Snap pictures of your receipts and let Odoo automatically create expenses for you" remains

Reason

Removal of proprietary mobile app store references while maintaining the informational content about mobile expense features that can be accessed through web browsers or alternative app distribution methods.
