Bernardo Magri 6763bef73e fix(install): pre-activation, writable home.nix, keyboard/locale selection ...

- Pre-activation failure ("desktop pre-activation failed"): the in-chroot
  HM build hard-coded `--option substituters ""`, which only works on
  OFFLINE installs (where the ISO store is copied in). Online installs
  (now common — wifi works) had no pins and built from source. Fix: build
  the generation in the live env (its store always has the pins), nix copy
  the closure to the target, chroot only activates. In-chroot build kept
  as fallback. Uses path: (not git+file:) to sidestep libgit2 ownership.
- Read-only home.nix: templates come out of the store mode 0444 and cp
  preserves it — chmod -R u+w after staging so the user can edit it.
- Keyboard + locale selection: gum prompts (localectl layouts/variants +
  curated UTF-8 locale list) and NOMARCHY_LOCALE/KB_LAYOUT/KB_VARIANT for
  unattended. One choice flows everywhere — services.xserver.xkb (source
  of truth) + console.useXkbConfig (tty/greeter) + boot.initrd.systemd
  (so the LUKS passphrase prompt uses the layout; script initrd can't) +
  the generated home.nix's nomarchy.keyboard.* for the Hyprland session.
- test-install.sh: NOMARCHY_OVMF env override for sandboxed OVMF paths.

Verified end-to-end in QEMU: offline LUKS install completes, boots to a
themed desktop (no autogenerated-config banner), Plymouth renders the LUKS
prompt on the theme-tinted background.
