Refactor CI to clearly separate virtualenv-based container tests from pure Nix flake tests across all distros (arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos).
Introduce dedicated test-env-nix workflow and Makefile targets, rename former container tests to test-env-virtual, and update stable pipeline dependencies.
Improve Nix reliability in containers by fixing installer permissions and explicitly validating nix availability and version during image build and tests.
Expanded and modernized the README to reflect PKGMGR's purpose as a
multi-distro development and packaging orchestrator. Added explanations for
Nix-based cross-distro workflows, clarified installation steps, documented the
full CLI capabilities, and embedded the architecture diagram.
Also replaced the verbose CLI DESCRIPTION_TEXT with a concise summary suitable
for `--help` output.
Included updated `assets/map.png`.
