feat(apps): starter workstation app suite + steam/libvirt/obs services

Browse Source 
The "default application suite" roadmap item, but deliberately NOT a
nomarchy.apps.* option surface: a bare package install has no config to
put behind a toggle, so a thin `mkIf x { systemPackages = [p]; }` only
reinvents what a package list already gives. Instead the suite is a
curated home.packages list in templates/downstream/home.nix (extending
the existing `# firefox` convention) — active staples (libreoffice,
vscode, gimp, inkscape, mpv, amberol) plus commented suggestions. The
opt-out is deleting a line; it also keeps the apps out of the live ISO
automatically (the ISO never scaffolds from the template).

The members that DO need system config become nomarchy.services.* opt-in
toggles instead (config behind the switch, like the existing services):
  - steam   → programs.steam (32-bit stack, controller udev, RP ports)
  - libvirt → libvirtd + virt-manager, login user added to libvirtd group
  - obs     → obs-studio + a v4l2loopback virtual camera (exclusive_caps=1)
              selectable as a webcam in Zoom/Teams

README option table, ROADMAP (services item now "Eight shipped"; suite
item marked done with the no-surface rationale) and the downstream
system.nix examples updated to match.

- **Applications:** the starter complete-workstation set (LibreOffice, VS
Code, GIMP, Inkscape) lives in the `home.packages` list in your
`home.nix` — it's a plain package list, so curate it directly: delete a
line to slim the machine, uncomment an extra (a browser, email, full TeX
Live), or add your own. No `nomarchy.apps.*` toggles — a package list is
already its own opt-out, so the distro doesn't impose these or wrap them.
