Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 0a0cbbfe6d fix(init-nix): create 'nix' user with a valid shell across all distros ...

The init-nix.sh script previously hardcoded /usr/bin/bash as the login shell
for the 'nix' user, which exists on Arch but not on Debian. This caused the
Nix single-user installer (run via `su - nix`) to fail silently or break in
unpredictable ways on Debian-based images.

We now resolve the shell dynamically via `command -v bash` and fall back to
/bin/sh on minimal systems. This makes Nix installation deterministic across
Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS and CI containers.
