fix(install): converge the offline pin set via derivation-graph gap analysis

Walking the install-shaped toplevel's drv graph against the ISO's actual
path set (tools/gap analysis) found why offline installs kept building
from source:

- system-path is rebuilt on EVERY machine: buildEnv's package-list order
  follows module-graph order, which any hardware profile reshuffles →
  pin its builders (texinfo, getconf)
- greetd.toml embeds the auto-login user and is generated by remarshal;
  building remarshal offline drags its test closure (matplotlib → ffmpeg
  → x265…, ~1900 drvs) → pin pkgs.remarshal
- second-level tools for the always-rebuilt drvs: kmod.dev +
  nukeReferences (modules-shrunk), xorg.lndir (unit dirs), libxslt.bin
  (dbus config), python3Minimal (etc)
- the representative pin now has a vfat /boot like a real install
  (mtools/dosfstools enter systemPackages via the vfat fs-type gate)

Verified on the host: the remaining offline build set for a foreign
username/hostname/UUID config is 66 trivial config drvs + eval-time file
copies from the pinned nixpkgs tree — zero network. Same check for the
per-username HM activation: 15 drvs, offline-clean.
