Bernardo Magri bb435a47bb fix(live-iso): stop initrd GPU panic + clear install pointer on login
- boot.initrd.kernelModules force-loaded amdgpu+radeon+nouveau+i915 in the
  live ISO, panicking on hosts where more than one driver matched the GPU.
  Move them to availableKernelModules so udev only loads what fits.
- Override services.getty.helpLine with a Nomarchy welcome that points at
  `sudo /etc/install.sh` (+ --dry-run / --resume variants). Replaces the
  upstream "NixOS" message.
- Ship installer/hardware-db.sh as /etc/hardware-db.sh so the installer's
  auto-detection works when invoked from the live ISO.
- Add live-ISO-only Hyprland exec-once: notify-send + an alacritty
  "Nomarchy Installer" terminal that prints the install commands. The
  graphical autologin user now sees a pointer instead of guessing how to
  start the install.

Welcome to the Nomarchy live environment.
To install Nomarchy: sudo /etc/install.sh
To preview the install: sudo /etc/install.sh --dry-run
To resume an interrupted run: sudo /etc/install.sh --resume
The graphical session autologins as 'nixos' (no password).
The 'nixos' and 'root' accounts have empty passwords.
