feat(distro): rename ISO targets and fix UEFI boot in live test script

- Rename installerIso and installerIsoGraphical to nomarchy-installer and nomarchy-live.
- Update host configurations with proper Nomarchy branding and volume IDs.
- Fix nomarchy-test-live-iso QEMU launch by using -drive if=pflash for UEFI firmware.
- Add nomarchy-build-live-iso utility script.
- Scrub remaining Omarchy references in Plymouth, installer messages, and docs.
- Regenerate docs/SCRIPTS.md to reflect new and renamed utilities.

+## 8. Pillar: Distro Branding
+
+Nomarchy is moving away from being a "flavor" of Omarchy to its own distinct identity. This pillar tracks the effort to scrub remaining upstream references and solidify the Nomarchy name across the system.
+
+- **ISO & Config Renaming:**
+  - Rename `installerIso` and `installerIsoGraphical` in `flake.nix` to `nomarchy-installer` and `nomarchy-live`.
+  - Update `hosts/nomarchy-installer.nix` and `hosts/nomarchy-live.nix` internal metadata.
+- **Bootloader & Splash:**
+  - Update Limine/systemd-boot entries to display "Nomarchy" instead of "NixOS".
+  - Scrub "Omarchy" from `themes/engine/plymouth/nomarchy.script`.
+  - Ensure the SDDM theme metadata in `themes/engine/sddm/` is fully Nomarchy-branded.
+- **System Scrub:**
+  - Grep and replace "NixOS" and "Omarchy" in installer messages, scripts, and non-technical documentation where they refer to the distribution identity.
+  - Update `/etc/os-release` via `environment.etc."os-release"` to ensure `NAME` and `PRETTY_NAME` reflect Nomarchy.
