feat(keyboard): interactive new-keyboard layout prompt + persist

The runtime-remember complement to nomarchy.keyboard.devices. Set
nomarchy.keyboard.layouts (candidate layouts) and a nomarchy-keyboard-watch
daemon runs (exec-once): it polls hyprctl devices, and when a keyboard
connects after login that isn't declared and hasn't been chosen before, it
pops a rofi layout picker, applies the choice via hyprctl switchxkblayout (an
index into the candidate set carried by input.kb_layout), and remembers it
per-device in ~/.local/state -- re-applied silently on later reconnects. The
boot-time set (incl. the built-in keyboard) is never prompted.

Pure bash + jq/hyprctl/rofi (all in the session PATH); state lives outside
the flake (a stateful runtime piece by design). Eval + bash-syntax verified;
the hotplug behaviour needs an on-hardware test.

Extra candidate layouts offered by the interactive new-keyboard
picker. When non-empty, a small watcher runs in the session: when a
keyboard connects that isn't covered by nomarchy.keyboard.devices and
hasn't been chosen before, it pops a rofi picker (these layouts plus
the primary nomarchy.keyboard.layout), applies the choice, and
remembers it per-device (~/.local/state) re-applying automatically
on later reconnects. The runtime-remember complement to the
declarative keyboard.devices; a stateful runtime piece by design.
