Refactor Dockerfile into multi-stage virgin/full targets and introduce a single
flag-based image build script. Standardize image naming, remove redundant build
scripts, and update Makefile targets accordingly. CI workflows now build missing
virgin images and run root and user tests consistently across all supported
distributions.

* Switch virgin root/user workflows to use *make install* + *make setup/setup-venv*
* Add Git *safe.directory /src* to avoid flake evaluation failures on mounted repos
* Enable Nix flake run in workflows and prepare */nix* for non-root execution
* Refactor Arch packaging to build in an isolated */tmp* directory via *aur_builder*
* Rename installer scripts (*run-** → *dependencies.sh* / *package.sh*) and adjust Docker entry + env var to *REINSTALL_PKGMGR*

- Introduce a GitHub Actions matrix for `test-container` and `test-e2e`
to run against arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, and centos
- Run unit and integration tests only in the Arch container by passing
`distro="arch"` via make in the corresponding workflows
- Replace the global DISTROS loop with a single `distro` variable in
the Makefile, defaulting to `arch`, and export it for all scripts
- Update build scripts (build-image, build-image-no-cache, build-image-missing)
to build images for the selected distro only
- Simplify test-container script to validate a single distro image using
the `distro` environment variable
- Simplify E2E, unit, and integration test scripts to run against a
single distro container instead of iterating over all distros

All test scripts (unit, integration, e2e) previously overwrote the Docker
ENTRYPOINT by using `--entrypoint bash`, which bypassed the container’s
startup logic in `docker-entry.sh`.
`docker-entry.sh` performs essential initialization steps such as:
- CA bundle auto-detection (NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE, SSL_CERT_FILE, etc.)
- Nix environment setup
- PATH adjustments and distro logging
By removing the explicit `--entrypoint bash` and invoking:
bash -lc '...'
directly as the container command, the Dockerfile’s ENTRYPOINT is restored
and runs as intended before executing the test logic.
This fixes TLS issues in CentOS E2E runs where Nix was unable to fetch
flake inputs due to missing CA configuration.

- Remove Makefile inline variable export (distro=arch) and invoke scripts via bash
- Add robust default in test-unit.sh and test-integration.sh:
: "${distro:=arch}"
- Prevent "unbound variable" errors under `set -u` when no distro is provided
- Pass `distro=arch` from Makefile into test scripts
- Replace hardcoded "arch" references with "${distro}"
- Update test-unit.sh and test-integration.sh to use dynamic image names
- Improve log output to reflect selected distro

This commit adds the `pkgmgr_nix_store` volume mount (`/nix`) to all test
runners (unit, integration, container sanity checks, and E2E tests).
Previously only the Arch-based E2E container mounted a persistent `/nix`
store, causing all other distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, etc.)
to download the entire Nix closure repeatedly during test runs.
Changes:
- Add `-v pkgmgr_nix_store:/nix` to:
- scripts/test/test-container.sh
- scripts/test/test-e2e.sh (remove Arch-only condition)
- scripts/test/test-unit.sh
- scripts/test/test-integration.sh
- Ensures all test containers reuse the same Nix store.
Benefits:
- Significantly faster test execution after the first run.
- Prevents redundant downloads from cache.nixos.org.
- Ensures consistent Nix environments across all test distros.
No functional changes to pkgmgr itself; only test infrastructure improved.

This update introduces a configurable TEST_PATTERN variable in the Makefile,
allowing selective execution of unit, integration, and E2E tests without
modifying scripts.
Key changes:
- Add TEST_PATTERN (default: test_*.py) to Makefile and export it.
- Inject TEST_PATTERN into all test containers via `-e TEST_PATTERN=...`.
- Update test-unit.sh, test-integration.sh, and test-e2e.sh to use
`-p "$TEST_PATTERN"` instead of a hardcoded pattern.
- Ensure flexible test selection via:
make test-e2e TEST_PATTERN=test_install_pkgmgr_shallow.py
This enables fast debugging, selective test runs, and better developer
experience while keeping full compatibility with CI defaults.
