Description: Wrapper that runs Kevin's package-manager via Nix flake

Refactor pkgmgr installers, introduce capability-based execution, and replace manifest layer

Summary:
This commit performs a major cleanup and modernization of the installation pipeline:
1. Introduced a new capability-detection subsystem:
- Capabilities (python-runtime, make-install, nix-flake) are detected per installer/layer.
- Installers run only when they add new capabilities.
- Prevents duplicated work such as Python installers running when Nix already provides the runtime.
2. Removed deprecated pkgmgr.yml manifest installer:
- Dependency resolution is now delegated entirely to real package managers (Nix, pip, make, distro build tools).
- Simplifies layering and avoids unnecessary recursion.
3. Reworked OS-specific installers:
- Arch PKGBUILD now uses 'makepkg --syncdeps --cleanbuild --install --noconfirm'.
- Debian installer now builds proper .deb packages via dpkg-buildpackage + installs them.
- RPM installer now builds packages using rpmbuild and installs them via rpm.
4. Switched from remote GitHub flakes to local-flake execution:
- Wrapper now executes: nix run /usr/lib/package-manager#pkgmgr
- Avoids lock-file write attempts and improves reliability in CI.
5. Added bash -i based integration test:
- Correctly sources ~/.bashrc and evaluates alias + venv activation.
- ‘pkgmgr --help’ is now printed for debugging without failing tests.
6. Updated unit tests across all installers:
- Removed references to manifest installer.
- Adjusted expectations for new behaviors (makepkg, dpkg-buildpackage, rpmbuild).
- Added capability subsystem tests.
7. Improved flake.nix packaging logic:
- The entire project source tree is copied into the runtime closure.
- pkgmgr wrapper now executes runpy inside the packaged directory.
Together, these changes create a predictable, layered, capability-driven installer pipeline with consistent behavior across Arch, Debian, RPM, Nix, and Python layers.
