Bernardo Magri 6e0d17b859 fix(welcome): drop Step 4's dead starter home.nix generation ...

`nomarchy-welcome` wrote a "starter" `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix`
for users without one. Two problems:

1. Wrong path. The installer-generated canonical home.nix lives at
   `/etc/nixos/home.nix` and is imported via the flake (both
   home-manager.users and the standalone homeConfigurations). Nothing
   in the installer flow ever reads `~/.config/home-manager/home.nix`
   — it's a dead file.
2. Broken content. The starter is missing `home.username`,
   `home.homeDirectory`, `home.stateVersion`, and doesn't import
   `nomarchy.nixosModules.home`. Even on a hand-migration path it
   wouldn't evaluate as a standalone HM config.

So in the installer flow it's dead, and in the migration flow it's
broken. Removed Step 4 entirely. The git-init step (was Step 5) is
now Step 4. Hand-migrated users follow `docs/MIGRATION.md`, which has
the correct home.nix template.

Found during Pillar 8 audit of first-boot UX.
