feat: nomarchy.lib.mkFlake — one-call downstream wrapper + hardware profiles

Downstream users now own only system.nix and home.nix; their flake.nix is
generated once from the template and never hand-edited. mkFlake (lib.nix)
wires both layers and maps hardwareProfile = "<name>" to nixos-hardware
modules (new input, pinned here, nixpkgs follows ours; unknown names fail
with did-you-mean suggestions). Flake checks evaluate the template through
mkFlake — including a real profile — so drift fails `nix flake check`.

Also from the live-VM testing session: install the home-manager CLI in the
live ISO and pin flake inputs transitively (offline theme switching needs
stylix's own inputs too), plus swww→awww doc updates.

# Downstream sugar: one call wires a whole machine flake.

# never hand-edited. The raw exports (nixosModules/homeModules/overlays)
# in flake.nix remain the escape hatch for power users.

}Valid names are the attribute names of nixos-hardware.nixosModules:

or list them locally with:
nix eval github:NixOS/nixos-hardware#nixosModules --apply builtins.attrNames
Omit hardwareProfile entirely if your machine has no profile.
